CR Signed Into Law

Following a chaotic week on Capitol Hill, President Joe Biden signed legislation to fund the government through mid-March. This action includes $10 billion in economic relief for farmers and ranchers and a one-year farm bill extension. Late Friday night, House Speaker Mike Johnson said help is coming for farmers. “Many of whom are on the brink of collapse because of Biden-omics, frankly; because of the inflationary cost of their inputs and the inability they have right now to get loans from the banks and the lenders to put their crops in the ground in the spring so we had to take care of that and we did. There is also disaster relief. In addition to the hurricane recovery, this money will also help those impacted by wildfires and drought.
