As most of agriculture knows, Congress agreed last month to an extension of the current farm bill to avoid a lapse in funding for critical agricultural programs and provide certainty to producers, but when a new farm bill will be crafted remains uncertain.
At the recent American Seed Trade Association Field Crop Seed Convention, Syngenta’s Mary Kay Thatcher moderated a panel on the farm bill future, which included Andrew Walmsley, Florida Farm Bureau Federation; Brian Glenn, CropLife America; and Samuel Crowell, American Seed Trade Association. Each discussed the impact of the extension on farm programs important to their members and what the options are for getting a new farm bill.
Listen to their discussion.
