Congress passed a continuing resolution, which included a one-year extension of the current Farm Bill. Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig says the resolution avoids the chaos that would occur if the current bill wasn’t extended. But he’s disappointed a new Farm Bill couldn’t pass the Congress this year. This one-year extension of the current bill, which was passed in 2018, provide some certainty to farmers in a soft ag economy. But a new five-year farm will address current farm issues, including an update on risk management.
