ARKANSAS SENATOR JOHN BOOZMAN SAYS HE’S NOT CONFIDENT THAT FARM BILL WOULD PASS THE SENATE IF THAT PROVISION IS INCLUDED.
ERNST IS SUGGESTING ANOTHER AG-RELATED ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED OUTSIDE OF THE FARM BILL DEBATE.
A PROPOSAL TO ALLOW E-15 TO BE SOLD YEAR-ROUND IS INCLUDED PRESIDENT TRUMP’S RECENT REQUEST FOR MORE MONEY FOR THE MILITARY.
