On Dec. 12, Congress passed the Conference Report for the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, better known as the farm bill. The bill now awaits signing by President Trump.
The American Dairy Coalition said it applauds Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Rep. Michael Conaway (R-Texas) and Rep. Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) — all agriculture-oriented leaders — for their hard work to advance the bill through both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The bill represents a solid step forward in aiding farmers struggling with poor market conditions and many other daily challenges, the Green Bay, Wis.-based farmer-led organization said.
