Corn growers push for passage of a federal farm bill

One of the biggest concerns farmers face this upcoming planting season is not the crop–but the quest to get a new federal Farm Bill passed. 

Missouri Corn CEO Bradley Schad says unfortunately due to dysfunction in Washington DC they were unable to get a new farm bill passed last year. 

But Schad says there are many updates they want to see in a new farm bill, but one thing that should not be changed is crop insurance. 

According to Schad, they continue to work with their partners, like the Missouri Soybean Association or Cotton Farmers, to make sure something gets passed this year.
