It’s been over seven years since congress last passed a full Farm Bill, and producers across the region are eagerly waiting for a new one. Neil Rockstad of the American Sugarbeet Growers Association tells us where things are at with the Farm Bill heading out of August recess, and what still needs to happen. 

Rockstad talks more about the items that came out of reconciliation, and what has had the biggest effect on agriculture in our region. 

Rockstad says one thing that needs to come out of the next farm bill is more assurances for producers. 

Rockstad was a guest on the Farm and Field Show, which airs this afternoon from 2:00 to 5:00 on KRJB 106.5 FM.
