Vilsack says farm bill passage is critical

US Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack says the 2023 Farm Bill will be pivotal to the rural economy.

“I don’t think I’m alone in being concerned about the fact we’ve got farmers who are doing quite well – and more power to them – but we got a lot of farmers that aren’t,” Vilsack said. “We want to keep them on the land. We want to create new ways for them to profit from their farming operation.”

He says he is not concerned about the amount of new congressional members that have never debated a farm bill.
