The budget reconciliation bill includes provisions for agriculture, including a ten-to-20 percent increase in reference prices. It does not include many policy issues, including a legislative fix to California’s Prop 12.

Thompson told Politico that he believes he can rally support from Democrats for Farm Bill 2.0.
