The Senate agriculture committee released text from its proposed budget-reconciliation bill this week, including numerous farm-bill provisions that are critical to U.S. soybean farmers.
The American Soybean Association said it appreciates Chairman John Boozman’s efforts to include farm-bill programs within the legislation that are key for ASA.
“At a time of great uncertainty for the agriculture economy, ASA appreciates the committee’s continued efforts to support the needs of farmers,” said ASA President Caleb Ragland.
“While we continue to urge Congress to work toward passing a much-needed five-year farm bill this year, we are pleased to see the continued support from Congress,” he added.
The budget-reconciliation package marked up by the Senate agriculture committee contains several provisions ASA advocated for during farm-bill negotiations during the last Congress.
While budget-reconciliation negotiations are far from finished, ASA said it is pleased the Senate agriculture committee is keeping farmer priorities top of mind as work continues to draft a comprehensive five-year farm bill.
