Senator Chuck Grassley Discusses Farm Bill During Stop In Arnolds Park

August 07, 2023 Steve Schwaller

(Arnolds Park)– U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley says progress continues on crafting a new farm bill and he’s confident Congress will get it passed before the current one expires…

“I don’t expect crop insurance to be changed. I was hoping to get more money for agriculture research and for foreign market sales. I don’t think that’s going to be possible under the fiscal constraints that McCarthy and Biden worked out. So then in the final analysis on a procedural process according to the chairman of the committee we’ll have it done by the end of the year and we shouldn’t have to have a one year extension of the present farm bill. But either way, either a new farm bill for five years or a one year extension, the farmers are going to have the same safety net protection that they’ve had for the last five years.”

Grassley made the comments during a stop last week in the Iowa Great Lakes.
