The Senate’s 2012 Farm Bill

Congress is writing the upcoming farm bill, and Kansas farmers, along with other similar farmers prioritize effective and affordable crop insurance. Farmers prioritize this insurance because it provides them an effective risk management tool, especially because many of their losses are beyond their control.

The U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee recently approved its version of the 2012 farm bill. Sen. Pat Roberts advocated to strengthen and preserve the crop program. The Senator is proud of the bill that they have produced because it fulfills their duty to taxpayers and strengthens the programs important to agriculture. The Senate plans to reduce the nation’s debt by $23 billion.
