Keeping the government running is a top priority for many lawmakers, but the continuing resolution could cause big delays for a new Farm Bill.
Farm CPA Paul Neiffer told us on Market Day Report that there is really no incentive for Congress to get a new Farm Bill done this year.
“You know, they’ll just kick the can down one more year, especially with this political environment that we have between the Democrats and the Republicans, and even between the Republicans and the Republicans. You know, there’s really no incentive, and also I think farmers need to understand that if you’re a real crop farmer, and even if we have a ’26 Farm Bill that gets passed, most of you are not going to get any payments from that Farm Bill until October ’27.”
The current extension of the 2018 Farm Bill expires in September, the same time the continuing resolution also expires.
