The American Farm Bureau Federation Managing Director of Government Affairs Ryan Yates says there’s a few big items Congress needs to address in the lame duck session. “They need to address funding the government because they’re currently operating under a continuing resolution. The second must is the Water Rights Development Act where Congress may include WRDA in the defense bill.” The Senate is working on a modified version of the Workforce Modernization Act. “Beyond that, we’ve got two trade nominees, both of which moved out of committee in the Senate and are up for a confirmation vote.”
