The current farm program expires at the end of September. Minnesota Association of Wheat Growers President Mike Gunderson doubts if a new farm bill can be passed by that time. “More than likely, it looks like it’s going to have to be an extension,” said Gunderson. “They probably don’t want to admit to that yet, but we haven’t been having the farm bill hearings out in the country and that’s part of our push to get those hearings going.” Gunderson would like to see a stronger safety net, rather than relying on ad hoc disaster programs.
