It’s been more than 800 days since the Farm Bill expired on September 30, 2023.
Wisconsinites haven’t seen a new and updated Farm Bill since 2018, and Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil are missing in action.
Van Orden and Steil are failing to address the growing challenges facing Wisconsin farmers – from their failures at passing a new Farm Bill that provides certainty to Wisconsin farmers and producers to make accurate business decisions, or their support for reckless tariffs that have further devastated the farm economy by ripping away markets.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil have left Wisconsin farmers behind with their complete and total failure to pass a new Farm Bill. Wisconsin farmers deserve better than Van Orden and Steil, who are more focused on doing the bidding of DC interests and their party bosses than fighting for Wisconsin.”
