A coalition of seven North Dakota farm groups are hosting a series of statewide farm bill listening sessions. North Dakota Corn Growers Association Executive Director Brenda Elmer says similar issues have been heard at each meeting. “We’re talking a lot about ad hoc disaster programs versus crop insurance and mitigating that risk,” said Elmer. “Most prefer crop insurance and something they could plan on versus these knee-jerk programs that we’ve been dealing with the last several years.” The final farm bill listening session will be held Tuesday in Jamestown.
