2025 began with a farm bill that was three years old and farmers’ patience with Congress is wearing thin. Veteran Washington analyst Jim Wiesemeyer said he is optimistic that it will finally get done in this congress, “Now you have a Republican heading the Senate Ag Committee, (Arkansas Senator) John Boozman and he works very well with (Pennsylvania Representative) G.T. Thompson,” said Wiesemeyer. “You have the new ranking member on the Senate Ag Committee, (Minnesota Senator) Amy Klobuchar; will she offer compromising words that she can work with the Senate and the House to finally get this new farm bill done?”
