The full Senate is expected to begin work on a new farm bill today, but the question is will the House ever do the same?

In a telephone press conference on Friday, House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Congressman Collin Peterson (D-MN) admitted they will have challenges facing us when whenever they do get the bill to the floor, but he is hopeful that will happen by mid-June. “At the end of the day, this bill’s going to be written in conference, we just need to figure out to get it to conference, that’s the trick,” he said. “If we can get to the floor by the middle of June and the Senate can move their bill, we can get this thing done by the August recess.”
