The World Ag Expo kicked off last week in Tulare, Ca. with a farm bill listening session-hosted by House Ag Committee Chairman Glenn Thompson (R-Pa.)-taking place at the event.
Thompson told the crowd that there was no need to rewrite the entire farm bill, saying that most representatives were comfortable with many parts in the 2018 bill and there aren’t many tweaks or changes, instead things we need to protect and invest in more.
Thompson’s words on the farm bill carry more weight than most congressional leaders. With the House taking the reins in writing the bill this year, he says the pen is “firmly” in his hand.
