Farm bill challenges will not go away in 2025 if Congress has to punt again on the top farming legislation. That is according to American Farm Bureau Director of Government Affairs Joe Gilson who says that hurdles will remain.
A lot will also depend on what the budget will look like for a new farm bill. As for the political landscape.
Better now, than continuing the uncertainty with another one-year extension of an outdated farm bill and losing time seating new lawmakers who may have no farm bill experience.
Gilson says farmers’ livelihoods are on the line.
Those questions might not be answered until well into the new year.
