Farm bills promise change in policy and debate in Kansas
The Kansas Rural Center notes two key points as farm legislation moves to a joint conference committee. Senators Brownback and Roberts oppose the Senate bill citing overproduction and budget concerns, while both House and Senate proposals aim to shift policy toward conservation incentives and stricter payment limits.
