One and done

Sen. Larry Craig, R-Ida., has said he won't support another extension of the current farm bill unless everything is agreed to and all that needed to be done was to write up the language. Craig, a big supporter of specialty crop provisions, nevertheless feels that farmers need certainty as planting season is already underway, one of his staffers told me today. The House-Senate conference is expected to meet again tomorrow, and we shall soon see by the tone of the news releases from Harkin and Peterson what we can expect.
