With the government shutdown officially over, real talks on the farm bill can begin. The House has appointed 29 members to the conferees following the Senates lead who appointed 12 members as conferees. While there are vast differences to the proposals brought by the two chambers of Congress, hopefully this is the step needed to bring compromise and finally give us our new farm bill. We are in desperate need of a solution so that American farmers can finally have some piece of mind and plan accordingly.
Stay tuned to this blog and our Twitter for more information on this developing story.
