Farm Bill Extension Ends Shutdown, Leaves Issues Unresolved

NDFB President Daryl Lies says the one-year farm bill extension was expected, but leaves important issues unresolved. “Without going big into that whole farm bill, there’s a lot of those regulatory relief things that we would like out there, and those things not being really addressed is part of the concern.”  Lies wants Congress to return to regular order in the appropriations process. “More than just reopening the government again, we need to ask if we’re really doing things the way they’re supposed to be. If not, did we really achieve anything?”
