U.S. house ag chairman expects timely farm bill

The U.S. House Agriculture Committee Chairman Mike Conaway said Aug. 8 he expected the 2018 farm bill to be completed on time, echoing sentiments of farm leaders a day earlier at the International Sweetener Symposium in San Diego, California, U.S. "It's time to go to work on getting the next farm bill done," Conaway said. "We're going to get this done on time" so it can be in place Oct. 1, 2018.
