Trump Ready to Sign Farm Bill into Law
USAgNet - 12/19/2018
President Donald Trump is hinting that he would sign the farm bill this week and hopes Democrats will join him on health care and infrastructure bills in 2019. According to the Hagstrom Report, the president made those comments at a White House
Congressional Ball on Saturday night.
"Next week, it looks like the farm bill is in very, very good shape. So we'll get the farm bill. Got to take care of the farmers. But it's just been something very, very exciting," Trump said, according to a transcript of remarks released by the White House.
The House and the Senate passed the farm bill last week, and Trump needs to sign it by the end of the year, when the current dairy program expires.
The 2014 farm bill expired September 30, but each section of the commodity title is on its own schedule, and the dairy program is the first to expire.
