Farm bill challenges

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — All commodity title program proposals need to change before Congress will pass a farm bill, American Farm Bureau Federation lobbyist Mary Kay Thatcher said in Scottsdale, Ariz., Feb. 9. “Everybody’s proposal has to change. I don’t think we have anything we can sell on the House or Senate floor,” Thatcher said in a speech to the Crop Insurance and Reinsurance Bureau annual meeting.
