Another Farm Bill Push

With a new Congress, farm groups stepped back and are now relaunching their farm bill push. The 2018 farm bill has been extended twice and Minnesota Corn Growers Association President Jim Kanten wants to get this legislation across the finish line.  “We’re running yet on the 2012 cost of production and we want to update that to current costs of production because things have changed a lot since 2012,” said Kanten. “We’re also pushing narrowing the deductables under Federal Crop Insurance and expanding the quality of protection for all producers.”
