AFBF President @ZippyDuvall on the Senate #farmbill markup and passage: "Low commodity prices, rising interest rates and an uncertain future for exports hang heavy over America’s farm and ranch land. But today’s vote means light on the horizon." https://t.co/iUBUNiPwrS

[Agri-Pulse Communications @agripulse]

The Senate Ag Committee has passed its version of the farm bill 20-1. Sen. Grassley the lone no vote.

[Senate Ag Committee Republicans @SenateAgGOP]

Roberts: To pass #FarmBIll18, we must embrace the attitude of ag producers: optimism & ingenuity. A farmer doesn’t plant the seed without the faith and optimism of harvesting a good crop. We MUST pass a #FarmBill that provides folks much needed certainty & predictability.
