For Minnesota Farm Bureau President Dan Glessing, the goal is still to get the farm bill done this fall. “Think about when this farm bill was passed and the extension last year; think about how long ago that was, we’ve come through COVID and the inflationary pressures that we’ve seen, to kick it down the road again is not something that we’re willing to entertain at this point.” Glessing said it will not be a pleasant thing for farmers to do their cash flows this fall. “A farm bill with some certainty in it would really help.” The Minnesota Farm Bureau Resolutions Committee met last week and member/delegates will vote on policy issues in a week and a half.
