(Washington, D.C.)  Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers announced today that she will be holding a series of agriculture listening sessions throughout Eastern Washington to discuss the upcoming Farm Bill.

“There are several programs in the Farm Bill that will impact Eastern Washington agriculture,” said McMorris Rodgers. “The Farm Bill will be important to protect the budget baseline and farm programs such as loan deficiency payments and direct payments. It will also address the conservation security programs, conservation reserve program, crop insurance, and energy incentives. Throughout the process, I will work closely with our farmers and ranchers to ensure that programs important to Eastern Washington are crafted to meet our needs.”
