The current farm bill debate is not easy to navigate. How do you determine which areas of the bill need more funding and how much funding should be allocated to each portion of the bill? Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) says the policy priorities of the bill are the most important things to determine first.
Senator Grassley was asked during his weekly conference call with ag broadcasters and reporters about Ag Secretary Vilsack?s recent comments regarding the need to ?rebuild the rural middle class? and help middle size farms to succeed through climate-smart commodities.
Senator Grassley was also asked about the House proposed GOP cuts and whether they would affect the farm bill budget.
