A new Farm Bill could come as soon as this Fall. House Ag Committee Chair GT Thompson says he is eager to get the ball rolling.
The “Big, Beautiful Bill” tackled most of the heavy lifting for the Farm Bill, but there were several items left out. Thompson says the “Skinny Farm Bill” would require an extra $8 billion over the next decade, but still less than prior estimates. Several items to address include conservation programs, loan limits, and even concerns, like California’s Prop-12.
Thompson wants to get the new Farm Bill to Committee by September, saying he wants it out of the way so it can help the American farmer.
