Senate lawmakers are still going over the President’s “Big, Beautiful Bill.”
Major tax cuts for agriculture are expected to remain, but Senate leaders want to cut more waste.
“I think the House made good headway on several fronts. But we think there are areas in the federal government, areas of waste, fraud, and abuse we can further identify, which would make that a more robust package,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune.
However, ag Democrats have drawn a line in the sand, saying they are not supporting the bill. Ranking Member Amy Klobuchar argues farmers will have the most to lose.
“Farmers will be losing revenue at 35 billion dollars over ten years. Look at what they’re already facing: markets shrinking because of the Trump tariffs, input costs up, weather issues, cuts to the USDA, veterinarians leaving, and now this.”
Senate Majority Leader John Thune says the bill is still on track to meet their self-imposed July 4th deadline.
