Hillbilly wisdom: to show how little change is necessary, congress has extended 3 times the 2018 farm bill. 2018 farm bill is good enough. Senator Cotton votes against any changes in farm bill and Senator Bozeman head of Agriculture and Nutrition committee is withholding the current bill from the senate floor.

The problem of Arkansas farm foreclosures probably has more to do with reciprocal tariffs and destruction of markets than lack of a new farm bill but both Senators support Trump’s tariffs and trade policy. It is time for change? Either a new farm bill or new representation.
