HULL, Iowa—Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) released the following statement as the one-year extension of the 2018 Farm Bill is set to expire today:
“Nearly 130 days ago, my Republican colleagues on the House Agriculture Committee and I passed the Farm Bill. This legislation is the result of conversations with our farmers and producers about their priorities, needs, and interests. We strengthened crop insurance, increased reference prices, doubled funding for trade programs, and included protections to keep our farmland away from China and our foreign adversaries. Between low commodity prices and declining farm income, we must pass the Farm Bill to deliver certainty and relief for our producers and Iowa agriculture.”
Rep. Randy Feenstra, (R-Hull)
