Finstad: Budget Bill Boosts Farm Policy

Minnesota Representative Brad Finstad says the House passage of the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” includes key wins for agriculture. Finstad highlighted provisions that strengthen crop insurance, extend discounted coverage for young farmers, and update reference prices for ARC and PLC programs. “Now that we’ve got a big part of the challenge with the farm bill, the nutrition title, out of the way, that’s going to allow us to hopefully get the adults in the room on a bipartisan basis and say, this is what’s left, let’s get it done.”
