Congresswoman says safety net is a constant concern for farmers

An Illinois Congresswoman says some ag issues have come up more than others in this round of farm bill listening sessions.

Democrat Cheri Bustos says they heard about market access programs a lot.  That was something that came up here, it also came up in when we were in Springfield at the Illinois State Fair,” she says.  “And the farm safety net comes up pretty much everywhere we go.”

She tells Brownfield these sessions allow members of Congress to really hear what concerns members of the ag industry have.
