Another one-year farm bill extension is widely anticipated. CHS President and CEO Jay Debertin, who also chairs the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, is concerned about the precedent. “We hope that doesn’t become habitual where that just becomes the plan because there needs to be some updates to the farm bill. Reference pricing is just one example and we need crop insurance to be good and solid so a deal needs to get done.” Debertin was featured at the Prairie Grains Conference in Grand Forks.
