“I am thankful Speaker Boehner has appointed conferees to advance the Farm Bill process,” said King. “Now that conferees have been appointed in the House and Senate, it is time to come together to finalize the 2013 Farm Bill. I look forward to robust conversations with the Senate conferees and moving forward to reconcile our differences. It is time to give the farmers of America the five years of federal agriculture policy predictability they deserve by finally sending a Farm Bill to the President’s desk.”
