Misleading and inaccurate arguments retard farm bill progress, says Stabenow
Congress may be forced to keep the 2018 farm law in operation into the new year because of "disingenuous and misleading" arguments by Republicans that are preventing progress on its replacement, said Senate Agriculture chairwoman Debbie Stabenow. The new farm bill is nine months overdue so "it's time to get real," said Stabenow in a five-page statement.
