Senate bills jockey for 2018 Farm Bill inclusion

摘要

EVEN BEFORE THE U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee took up writing its version of the 2018 Farm Bill, key elements of the bill were already proposed as stand-alone pieces of legislation by influential ag committee members. That includes Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.; Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio; Bob Casey, D-Pa.; Joni Ernst, R-Iowa; and Chuck Grassley, R-lowa. They'll likely be key bricks in the 2018 Farm Bill's foundation.
