IOWA CONGRESSMAN RANDY FEENSTRA SAYS HE REMAINS HOPEFUL CONGRESS WILL ACT ON A NEW FARM BILL BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.

FEENSTRA AND SOME COLLEAGUES SENT A LETTER TO HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON, URGING ACTION ON THE MEASURE, THAT COULD END UP BEING THE FIRST TRILLION-DOLLAR FARM BILL.

HE SAYS THE FLAP OVER THE HOUSE SPEAKER’S POSITION DELAYED WORK ON THE FARM BILL AND OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES.
