A new farm bill could address rural childcare issues for the first time.
Senate Ag Committee member Sherrod Brown tells Brownfield there’s a strong bipartisan coalition to support childcare in every community.
“It’s hard enough in metro areas to find affordable childcare, and it’s even harder in rural areas, and so we should not do only urban or only rural,” he says.
Chief economist John Newton with Senate Ag Committee Republicans says it’s one of the top concerns of young farmers.
