Dragging out the farm bill would sideline several Republican initiatives in rural America but it would also help Speaker Kevin McCarthy avoid another mutiny from his right flank.
Senate Agriculture Chair Debbie Stabenow and ranking member John Boozman are trying to mesh partisan interests in difficult farm bill negotiations. | Francis Chung/POLITICOThe Senate was supposed to bring a grownup attitude to hashing out $1 trillion farm and food legislation while the House swirled in dysfunction.
Behind closed doors, lawmakers are starting to raise whether a one or two-year punt will be necessary, particularly as Republicans demand new increases for key farm programs and a hard-right mutiny paralyzes the House. That kind of delay would put additional strain on a sector already dealing with high inflation, potentially creating an election-year headache for ag-state lawmakers if farmers don’t see relief.
After leaving a closed-door meeting of Agriculture Committee Democrats in Stabenow’s Senate hideaway last week, Sen. warned he would not support any effort to “undo” the IRA’s climate-focused agriculture programs. The initiatives, he said, are designed to help farmers improve their yields and fight climate change.
