With input costs up and inflation driving profits down, producers are facing enough difficulties without worrying about D.C. hurting their business. They deserve far better than to be saddled with the consequences of politicians not doing their job. That\u2019s why, today, I voted to extend funding for critical farm programs for a year so Iowa\u2019s producers can have the certainty they need to continue running their operations after a busy harvest season. I\u2019m also continuing to aggressively fight for a five-year Farm Bill that includes the priorities shared with us during our Farm Bill Listening Tours.\u201d\n\nBACKGROUND\n\nThe House of Representatives today passed the Further Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act, which extends Farm Bill programs through September 30, 2024. The extension of the Farm Bill ensures the continuation of all critical programs that the more than 84,000 Iowa farmers rely on, including:\n\nFully funding the farm safety net through commodity programs and crop insurance\n\nContinued support for conservation programs\n\nSupport for rural development, including infrastructure and health care services\n\nExpansion of rural broadband\n\nInvestment in agricultural innovation and security\n\nBacking for robust production of biofuels to lower energy costs for Americans", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:01:09Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://nunn.house.gov/2023/11/14/nunn-secures-passage-critical-agricultural-programs-iowans/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 43.826192850247025, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
