With the farm bill still unfinished after repeated delays, Congress has one more opportunity to act before the end of the year. Minnesota Farmers Union President Gary Wertish puts the chances of getting a farm bill through the lame-duck session at about 50-50. “It’s still kinda in limbo,” said Wertish. “It hasn’t passed in the full Senate yet, but at the same time, with the change in leadership now coming into the next Congress, can we take this opportunity to improve it more? I think everybody knows we need a farm bill.”
