Today Congressman Kevin Cramer announced he will bring two senior staff members of the House Agriculture Committee to Fargo for a public Farm Bill seminar and question-and-answer session. Matt Schertz, senior professional staff member, and Bart Fischer, chief economist of the Committee, will answer questions on the implementation of the 2014 Farm Bill for agriculture representatives, crop insurance agents, and the public.
"Since the farm bill was signed into law, many agriculture professionals have questions on how it is being implemented. With the expanded crop insurance options presented in the new Farm Bill, farmers are confronted with decisions which will have multi-year consequences. In bringing to North Dakota two of the experts most involved in drafting and negotiating the Farm Bill, my hope is to provide answers and guidance," said Cramer.
