Farm bill urgency urged by Kansas leaders at State Fair
Kansas Senator Pat Roberts and Farm Bureau officials pressed for a timely new farm bill at the State Fair leadership breakfast. They warned against extending the 2008 authority past Sept. 30, citing risks to crop insurance, conservation, research, and the food supply. A new bill would stabilize prices, support fruit and vegetable growers, and protect farmers from volatile markets. John Schlageck, Farm Bureau commentator, analyzed the need for a market oriented reform.
