National Potato Council Executive Vice-President and CEO John Keeling says a farm bill can be accomplished outside of normal consideration. The bill could be added in must-pass legislation at the end of the session. “We have a debt-ceiling vote coming up in early December and eight additional appropriation bills to finish. Then, they have other funding needs,” explains Keeling. “There will be an omnibus piece of legislation, which can happen well into December. There’s discussion happening whether the farm bill could be added.”
