Before lawmakers returned home to campaign, American Soybean Association President Josh Gackle was encouraged by the farm bill negotiations. “There’s certainly a lot of pressure being put on by Chairman (Glenn ‘GT’) Thompson in the House Ag Committee to get a bill through on the House side,” said the Kulm, North Dakota farmer. “I know he has reached out and got a letter sent the leadership of the House and Speaker (Mike) Johnson to try and move something through during a lameduck session on a full five-year reathorization.” Gackle hopes to see similar action in the Upper Chamber. “The delay right now has been trying to get something from Chair (Debbie) Stabenow on the Senate side to get an actual bill moving forward.”
