Congress misses farm bill deadline as harvest costs climb
Lawmakers failed to pass a new farm bill by the deadline, leaving farmers without updated federal support as they face rising costs during harvest season. The lapse affects programs covering crop insurance, commodities and rural development. Growers, including those in farm-heavy states like Wisconsin, say climbing input and equipment costs are compounding the uncertainty while the bill remains stalled in Congress.
Why now: Farmers and rural communities are watching the delay because it leaves them without policy certainty during a costly harvest.
