Congress has cleared its Continuing Resolution, which will extend the farm bill, avoid a government shutdown and secure financial relief for ag. Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA) president & CEO Daren Coppock released the following statement in response.
“ARA applauds efforts by Congress to pass a continuing resolution with economic assistance as well as a one-year extension to the farm bill to carry us into next year,” Coppock says. “However, the work on Capitol Hill is not finished. ARA and our members will continue to advocate for a 5-year farm bill that includes many of ARA’s priorities such as robust improvements to crop insurance, conservation programs and more. We need to secure a multi-year farm bill as early as possible in the next Congress to provide much-needed certainty for an ag industry reeling from economic hardships.”
