The current Farm bill is expired but negotiations are expected soon to pass new legislation into this bill. State Representative Wayne Rosenthal (R-Morrisonville) knows the importance of this bill and the impact it has across Illinois and the country.

 
The Farm bill is a massive piece of legislation that is passed by Congress roughly every five years. This bill has a tremendous impact on farmers and how food is grown. Programs include crop insurance for farmers, healthy food access for families, and farming practices.

The Farm bill is put together by titles and these titles create a package that keeps agriculture strong. It is the foundation of food and farm systems. Representative Rosenthal spoke on Thursday during the Veto Session.
