McConnell, who serves on the \u2064Senate Agriculture Committee and the Senate Appropriations \u200cCommittee, made this announcement during\u2062 an event with\u200c the Kentucky Farm Bureau. \u2064His remarks highlight the fact that the crucial legislation will not pass by the current law&#8217;s expiration \u200cdate of \u200bSeptember 30.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s Next for\u2062 Trump Following Arrest in Georgia RICO Case?<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the setback, \u2063McConnell remains optimistic, stating, &#8220;We&#8217;ll figure it \u200cout. The Democrats are really not interested in \u2064rural\u200b America anymore, but somehow we&#8217;ll put that together. Oh, not before Sept. 30, but \u2064we&#8217;ll all put \u2062that together and look out as best we can for \u200dour rural and small-town America priorities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The farm bill is a \u2064comprehensive package that sets policies\u2063 for agriculture, forest health, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/congressional-budget-office-minimum-wage-hike-would-cost-1-4-million-jobs\/\" title=\"Congressional Budget Office: Minimum Wage Hike Would Cost 1.4 Million Jobs\">food aid programs<\/a>, conservation, and other areas overseen by the Department of Agriculture. It must be reauthorized every five years and is currently \u200dset to expire at the end of \u200cSeptember. However, Congress has the \u200coption to file an extension.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) did\u2062 not respond \u2062to a request for comment on McConnell&#8217;s\u200b remarks. However, Stabenow previously stated in June that the bill would \u2062not be ready by September.\u2063 She expressed hope\u2062 that a bill would pass by the end of December but noted that missing the deadline is not uncommon, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senates-farm-bill-on-track-to-miss-september-reauthorization-deadline\/\" title=\"Senate farm bill likely to miss September deadline for reauthorization.\">previous farm bill reauthorizations<\/a> have required \u2063extensions.<\/p>\n<p>Not passing the bill by \u200bthe end of next \u2064month\u2062 is not particularly surprising, especially considering the looming threat of a government shutdown and a \u2062broader dispute about defense spending levels when Congress returns in\u2062 September. These issues are\u2063 likely to \u200bdominate leadership&#8217;s attention.<\/p>\n<p>House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn &#8220;GT&#8221;\u2064 Thompson (R-PA) emphasized that the extension would not \u2064be due to a lack\u200c of effort on their part. He explained, &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot \u2062of competition for \u200cweeks on the floor in September\u2064 with the appropriations \u200dbills and bills that expire just like \u2063the farm bill does.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The federal government&#8217;s funding \u200bruns out on September 30, and both the House and\u200b Senate have limited in-session days to find \u200da resolution and prevent a shutdown. Additionally, House and Senate appropriators have \u200dbeen working on government funding bills at different spending levels, further complicating \u200cmatters.<\/p>\n<p>The farm bill also faces partisan disputes over provisions that were\u2064 agreed upon as part \u200bof President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy&#8217;s (R-CA) deal to avert \u200da debt \u200ddefault in May. The deal added new work\u2062 requirements to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which is funded through the farm bill. While Republicans consider this a victory, Democrats secured exceptions for veterans, the homeless, and young\u2062 adults who were previously in\u2064 foster care.<\/p>\n<p>House Republicans and \u2064Senate Democrats \u2064on their respective Agriculture Committees have been engaged in a dispute \u2064over these provisions. \u2062However, Thompson \u200chas urged his GOP colleagues not to prioritize this issue.<\/p>\n<p>Stabenow \u200dexpressed uncertainty about the resolution of the dispute, stating, &#8220;With the House, it&#8217;s difficult\u2063 to know. Some of\u200b these dollars that would have \u2064given\u2063 us the flexibility that we thought we had to help us meet some needs were actually taken in the debt deal, and so \u200bour baseline is very tight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> \u200c to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) admitted that the Senate will not meet the September deadline for the $1 trillion farm bill reauthorization.
