The leadership of general farm organizations and major commodity groups shared the stage at Farmfest to discuss the 2023 farm bill. National Cattlemen’s Beef Association President Don Schiefelbein said the farm bill process too often picks winners and losers. “We want to just come out with a fair bill that does right by everybody,” said Schiefelbein. “New farmers, old farmers, young farmers, white farmers, black farmers, red farmers, every farmer. and we will win.” National Corn Growers Association First Vice President Tom Haag said his organization’s farm bill priorities are crop insurance, the commodity title and conservation. “We all know there is only a certain amount of money we can have,” said Haag. “I wish we could have more, but if we all of a sudden want an increase here, we’re going to rob from Peter to pay Paul.”
