U.S. House Ag Committee member Nikki Budzinski says the clock is ticking on getting a farm bill passed this year. “We don’t have an infinite amount of time,” she says. “We need to start really making progress.”
She tells Brownfield when Congress comes back on April 8th, she wants to see the text of a farm bill. “We have yet to see that,” she says.
Budzinski says work has been done on different titles of the farm bill behind the scenes. But, she says, the federal budget negotiations were a distraction.
