In this edition of Fielding Questions, AgCountry Farm Credit Services Senior Legislative and Public Affairs Officer Andy Barton discusses the next step in the farm bill process. The legislation has passed through the House Agriculture Committee and will reach the House floor in September. “It was a good first step,” reports Barton. The commodity and crop insurance titles in the House and Senate versions of the farm bill are similar. Barton said the biggest hurdle will be the funding for any new initiatives. The timing of the farm bill process is also discussed.
