Farm Bill moves to 2012

There was hope the Super Committee would take care of the Farm Bill during negotiations this past month. However, nothing was addressed and talks will move into 2012.

Congress left on the table numerous funding cuts to Natural Resource Conservation Service programs. These NRCS programs help farmers protect, conserve and enhance their land.

Now the waiting game is on to see what action Congress will take. Below are two links to stories on the upcoming Farm Bill outlook for 2012.
