Mixed Reviews on the U-S House Agriculture Committee Farm Bill

The one and a half trillion dollar farm bill passed by the U-S House Agriculture Committee this week has received mixed reviews.   First District Republican Congressman Brad Finstad says the committee delivered a “strong, bipartisan Farm Bill”.   He says it strengthens crop insurance and dairy policy, modernizes Conservation Reserve Program and F-S-A Guaranteed and Direct Loans, and expedites U-S-D-A loan approval times.   Second District Democratic Congresswoman Angie Craig says the bill would roll back the climate-smart ag policies she championed in the inflation Reduction Act and cut 320 million dollars in nutrition assistance funding in Minnesota.
