(NAFB.com) – Some lawmakers in the lame-duck session of Congress want to include specific provisions to help commodity farmers who weren’t hit by a disaster in any potential disaster aid packages. Farm Policy News says while many farmers weren’t hit by disasters like hurricanes and wildfires, they have experienced significant price decreases for their commodities. Congress also has to deal with another potential shutdown and is said to be looking at another short-term extension that would put most major funding decisions into Fiscal Year 2025 for the new Congress and President-elect Donald Trump. Some of the House Republican leadership plans to attach a one-year extension of the farm bill to the Continuing Resolution to keep the government funded. Reports say there is also a chance they’ll add the farm bill to an annual defense authorization bill, which is also a must-pass package to handle this month, but most lean toward the CR.
