In a rare move, a handful of commodity groups are meeting lawmakers in joint congressional visits this week. The groups representing corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, rice and sorghum are partnering on this lobbying trip. An ag lender will be part of each office visit on Capitol Hill. The farm groups hope to demonstrate a sense of urgency with the farm bill. The National Farmers Union is also in Washington, D.C. this week for its legislative fly-in.
