Bipartisanship is Key To Getting Farm Bill To the House Floor

"Producers, farmers, ranchers across the country have faced some headwinds in recent years with inflation with softening commodity prices. And I think this bill answers the call to those farmers and ranchers who produce for our country to give them that safety net. And so it's gonna be really important. I think that we get the bill on the House floor. Obviously, we know the tight margins in the House and in the Senate as well, that could prevent the speaker from being able to do that. But that is what the American Farm Bureau is going to be asking for is for this bill to continue to move forward in the process to get a vote on the House floor."
Gilson adds that with the tight margins and House Republicans have a majority of five and they need the bill to be a bipartisan bill. Otherwise, this farm bill will not make it to the House floor.
