A group of 32 Democratic senators is urging ag lawmakers to halt their opposition to Prop 12 in the next Farm Bill.
“Bottom line: food security is national security!”
“Every little disruption just raises the cost, and it’s just going to raise the cost to the consumer.”
“I’ll say first and foremost, we need to make sure that the crop insurance system is not conflicting with these good farming practices.”
“There is no free trade without fair trade!”
Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins told RFD-TV’s Kirbe Schnoor that the Farm Bill is an important piece of legislation and one that she feels “really good about.”
“There is a lot of financial uncertainty on the farms right now.”
“We need something to happen!”
“We just want to make sure a Farm Bill doesn’t fall off the radar screen.”
“Top of mind across all of agriculture is to see a Farm Bill get across the finish line.”
