The Russell Group President Randy Russell expects the pushback over the Commodity Credit Corporation to resurface during the next farm bill debate. “It’s inviting people to look at the CCC and what it funds,” says Russell. “While this may be a partisan issue right now, in the past, Republicans have used the CCC funds and stretched its legal authorities. Democrats have done the same. All it’s doing is inviting in the future people to take a hard look at what’s done with the CCC. This should be something of a pause for everyone in the agriculture community to worry about moving forward.”
