Debbie Stabenow: “Yes. Now, we could pass an extension again and throw this into the lap…”

On the recordNovember 18, 2024

Yes. Now, we could pass an extension again and throw this into the lap of everyone next year. That doesn't create any more certainty for farmers. Those who want to just do some ad hoc payments, you know, that is not going to work. And so the reality is we have short-term help in our bill. We have a 5-year farm bill, and we can get it done now. One hundred bipartisan bills that are included in our bill--this is a bipartisan effort, even though at this point not endorsed on a bipartisan basis. But our farmers and ranchers would be a whole lot better if we could get this done.
