Stabenow, Boozman, Thompson, Scott Statement on Farm Bill Extension

WASHINGTON—The four leaders of the House and Senate Agriculture Committees released the following statement on a Farm Bill extension:

“As negotiations on funding the government progress, we were able to come together to avoid a lapse in funding for critical agricultural programs and provide certainty to producers. This extension is in no way a substitute for passing a 5-year Farm Bill and we remain committed to working together to get it done next year.”
