Smith Calls on Senate to Finish Work on Farm Bill

Citing his concern the reauthorization of the 2007 Farm Bill could be delayed until next year, Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) today called on the Senate to pass its version of the Farm Bill.

"The Administration delivered its Farm Bill proposal in January. The House completed its work on the Farm Bill in July. Now is not the time to delay action on this very important issue.


"Producers in Nebraska and throughout our nation need the certainty the Farm Bill provides. FSA office closures, renewable fuels, drought - these are matters needing to be addressed - not next year, but now. I hope my colleagues in the Senate recognize this situation and can pass a Farm Bill in the best interests of our farmers and ranchers before they recess," Smith said.
