U.S. Senator Joni Ernst says a one-year extension of the current farm bill is looking more and more likely.
“Unfortunately, we’ve seen that stall out and I don’t know that having a new speaker is actually going to make us move on that.”
The Iowa Republican tells Brownfield, “I don’t think it’s a great way to go. We’d rather have a finalized, updated farm bill.”
Ernst says about 14% of the legislation impacts farm programs and that needs to change.
