John Thune: “We will have passed the farm bill by the time you get back.”

I remain committed to getting the farm bill and E15 to the president’s desk to secure these critical wins for South Dakota’s farmers and ranchers.

The president and his team and their resources need to be brought to bear on Texas because it’s not one that we can lose if we’re going to hang on to a Republican majority.

I would love to have some spending cuts associated with the debt limit debate.

We’ve got to get a bill, if we want to pass a farm bill, that’s something that can pass the House and be signed into law by the president.
