U.S. Farm Bill
Row crop losses in 2025 are outpacing last year. With no disaster aid yet approved, many operations face a tough financial bridge to 2026 even as Farm Bill improvements remain a year away.
In a call with reporters on Tuesday, RFD-TV News reporter Lily Raby asked Senate Ag Committee member Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) for his opinion on Des Moines school leaders’ decisions to halt ag education programs, which also threatens the future of the city’s FFA chapter.
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.”
“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.”
