October 14, 2024 Steve Schwaller

(Milford)– Prospects of getting a farm bill passed yet this calendar year are quickly dwindling. U.S. Senator Joni Ernst…

“And I know I have spoken about this many times before but I don’t believe that we will get a farm bill done in this current calendar year. I would anticipate we’ll seen an extension and take it up again next January.”

“And it will look very different and we will focus on supports for farmers, making sure like here in Iowa we’re able to feed and fuel the world. That’s what we need to focus on, not a lot of green ideology programs that are packed into the farm bill, those don’t belong in the farm bill. Let’s focus on farm.”

Ernst made the comments Friday at a townhall event in Milford.
