Listen "Agcast: 2018 Farm Bill Update"
Episode Synopsis
The 2014 Farm Bill expires September 30, meaning the deadline for Congress to approve a new Farm Bill is this Sunday. Farmers and ranchers need the certainty and protection the new Farm Bill will provide and a House-Senate Conference Committee has been meeting for weeks to reach a compromise, but so far no agreement has been struck. In this edition of Arkansas Agcast, Matt King, director of Public Affairs and Government Relations for Arkansas Farm Bureau explains what happens if an agreement is not reached by Oct. 1.
