The Kansas Corn Growers Association supports efforts of 39  agricultural organizations demanding that Congress pass the Farm Bill this session.

The agricultural organizations are working to raise public awareness of the need for Congress to pass a new, comprehensive, five-year farm bill before current programs expire in September. The coalition, called Farm Bill Now, comprises associations and coalitions representing commodity groups, crops, livestock, dairy, specialty crops, state and local governments and energy and biobased product groups.

The U.S. Senate passed its version of the Farm Bill in June. Both Senator Pat Roberts and Senator Jerry Moran voted to pass the bill. While the House Agriculture Committee passed its version of the Farm Bill, it has not been brought to a vote by the full House.
