Another farm bill extension is all but a certainty. At the Farm Progress Show, House Agriculture Committee Chair Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson said it was time for the Senate to act. In Thompson’s words, the Senate has 90 pages of ideas but has not taken any real action. The legislation has passed the House Agriculture Committee but does not appear to have enough votes to pass the full House. The farm bill is operating under a one-year extension, which expires at the end of September.
