Farmers air farm bill concerns

There’s concern among farmers a new farm bill is far from completion.

Jeff Jorgenson, a cow/calf producer who grows corn and soybeans in southwest Iowa, tells Brownfield there are a lot of headwinds.

“The shell game as I call it, just moving money from here to there. The trouble is somebody has to lose for somebody to gain, or one commodity to gain. And that’s not a good place to be when you’re going into the farm bill is pitting agriculture against another commodity group.”

Tim Waibel grows corn, soybeans, and raises hogs near Courtland in south-central Minnesota and suggests the process doesn’t have to be complicated.
