Farm Bill Extensions Filed with No Fiscal Cliff Resolution
Three farm bill extensions were filed over the weekend in an effort to prevent problems in the ag sector as a result of any fiscal cliff fallout. Meanwhile, ag leaders in Washington are urging Congress to act before milk prices rise and funding to programs is cut.
Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack continues to urge Congress to get a farm bill passed to stabilize milk prices and preserve the SNAP program, previously known as food stamps.
