Boehner on Farm Bill: "No decisions have been made"
We have an audio report from RFD Radio's Matt Kaye.
Compiled by staff
Published: Jul 12, 2012
House Speaker John Boehner said Thursday that no decision has been made on House consideration of farm bill that was approved earlier in the day by the House Agriculture Committee.
Agriculture Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., feels the committee did "an awful lot of good work," Boehner said at a weekly news conference. But "no decisions about it coming to the floor at this point," Boehner said.
The House will be in session for three more weeks before it leaves for its five-week summer break. After that there are only eight more legislative days in September. The current farm bill expires at the end of September.
"The House leadership needs to bring the farm bill to the floor for a vote," said Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., top Democrat on the Agriculture Committee. "Our nation's farmers and ranchers need the certainty of a new five-year farm bill and they need it before the current farm bill ends."
