When will it be done? Jerry Hagstrom, Author and Founder of the renowned Hagstrom Report, bet that the Farm Bill would be done in 2023. Former Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan bet on 2024. MY RURAL AMERICA is a bit late to the table to join the bet, but we’ll buy them both a martini if it gets done before Spring.
Jerry Hagstrom describes the bet, what’s at stake, and what must be done in “Farm Bill May Cost Me a Martini,” published in The National Journal.
