The current farm bill extension expires at the end of September. Minnesota Second District Representative Angie Craig says more work needs to be done. “I think we’re going to need another extension to get to the lame duck session,” said Craig. “The farm bill passed the (agriculture) committee and it should be on the floor, but it’s not because my colleagues across the aisle don’t have the votes.” The Red River Farm Network asked Craig about her fellow Minnesotan being on the presidential ticket. “Tim Walz served in Congress on the Ag Committee so this is a Democrat who knows a thing or two about ag. People may not love every single thing that he’s done over the years, but he gets biofuels, he gets ag and I think it would be a tremendous asset to have someone like that working in the White House.”
