Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, along with governors from 16 other states, signed a joint letter Monday urging Congress to reauthorize the Farm Bill and to provide “immediate financial assistance” to the agricultural sector.

Republican governors are calling on congressional leaders not to pass a one-year extension of the 2018 farm bill rather than a new package as the December deadline looms. The House GOP reportedly plans to proceed with plans to extend the existing law rather than pass a new one.

A group of Republican governors has joined together in a letter to key congressional leaders and agricultural policymakers that warns that delayed reforms and inflationary pressures are pushing farmers to a breaking point.
