Minnesota Senator Tina Smith says there’s a lot on the plate for the Senate between now and the end of the year, including passing the Build Back Better plan. “I believe it will be done, but it is a complicated bill.” Smith says lawmakers will also be working on a budget. The continuing resolution passed in September expires on December 3. “We want to continue strong funding for the nutrition program, an important part of the ag budget. Senator Stabenow has also been very focused on the conservation provisions in the ag budget. There’s an important boost for programs like the Conservation Reserve Program and Conservation Stewardship Program”
