Passing a new farm bill out of the House will be an uphill battle. Former North Dakota Senator Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota made that point in a farm bill discussion at the Northern Corn and Soybean Expo. Heitkamp is not sure the farm bill will find the finish line this year. “I would love to be surprised, but given how divided the House majority is, I think it will be extremely hard to build a moderate coalition to get this done.” Heitkamp cited the challenges seen with the election of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
