WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, released the following statement today after the House and Senate Farm Bill conference committee released the text of the 2018 Farm Bill conference report:
“The Farm Bill conference report maintains key elements I fought for in the Senate bill, such as protecting crop insurance, simplifying trade promotion programs, and unleashing more broadband infrastructure in rural America. The report also includes my Precision Agriculture Connectivity Act, a solution to find and close gaps in broadband connectivity across farm and ranch country. Nebraska ag producers want a clearer and more predictable guide for the future, and that’s what this bill will provide.”
