Anyone following the Farm Bill? The U.S. Senate JUST PASSED their five-year Farm Bill! Senators backed the measure 66-27 after spending more than two weeks debating a handful of the more than 200 amendments offered on the legislation. More than 15 Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the bill. All eyes now turn to the U.S. House of Representatives where the bill is anticipated to move to the floor later this month. The current farm bill expires on September 30, and lawmakers hope to reach agreement on a new bill before the August recess. Make sure you are communicating your wishes to your representative.
