Farmers are fed up with Congress’ failure to produce a new farm bill and will likely feel the economic impact. That’s according to United States Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA).
Grassley (R-IA) was hopeful early in 2024 that a new farm bill would be agreed to in the new year. However, he now says that agreement on a new farm bill would be a surprise at this point.
Grassley acknowledges the economic toll that extending the 2018 farm bill with outdated crop supports will have on producers.
Retiring Senate Ag Chair Debbie Stabenow said in March.
The impasse has intensified with over 500 ag-related groups pleading for a farm bill and the American Farm Bureau forecasting per acre losses of 99 dollars for corn and 43 dollars for soybeans this year.
Does Senator Grassley see any sign of overcoming the Senate logjam with direct House-Senate negotiations after House Ag passed a bill?
