Work on producing a new Farm Bill before the current one expires continues in Washington.

Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer sits on the Agriculture Committee and says farmers and ranchers need the certainty a new 867(B)Billion dollar Farm Bill would provide

Fischer says the Farm Bill will modernize federal agricultural programs, including broadband development which will allow farmers and ranchers to take advantage of new technology

Fischer says work requirements in the House version for those receiving food stamps won’t make it in the final version.
