**The Senate Ag Committee failed to advance its Farm Bill Thursday after Democrats rejected the Republican proposal in a 10-11 vote, leaving no clear path forward.
Committee Chair John Boozman recessed the markup after negotiations broke down over changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
Ranking Member Amy Klobuchar says I want us to get to a bipartisan agreement, but first and foremost, that includes addressing this ridiculous SNAP situation.
**The Farm Credit Council is encouraging lawmakers to continue working toward a bipartisan Farm Bill after the Senate Ag Committee failed to advance the legislation.
Farm Credit Council President Christy Seyfert thanked Chairman John Boozman, Ranking Member Amy Klobuchar, and committee members for their efforts while expressing disappointment that the bill did not move forward.
Seyfert says as producers navigate ongoing economic uncertainty, completing a five-year Farm Bill is more important than ever.
