IARN — We have been really focused on the 2023 Farm Bill for the past few months. There are concerns about getting it passed, especially with the debt ceiling debates currently going on. We focus a lot on safety nets and nutrition, which are two of the most important titles in the legislation. However, it doesn’t stop there. There are thirteen titles in the Farm Bill, and each one of them affects life in America to some degree.
One of those places is in rural communities. They need the monies to keep providing vital services to their urban and rural residents. Services that citizens in larger cities take for granted.
Skylar Sowder is VP of Government Affairs for the Farm Credit Council. She talks to us about the rural communities that rely on a timely Farm Bill.
