"I continue to think that there is a higher probability that the 2012
Farm Bill will be passed before the end of this year than that the
current farm bill will be extended. My reasons for this assessment
include the broad agreement that currently exists in much of the two
farm bill drafts, the concern over what a new budget baseline will mean
for the farm safety net, and the potential use of the budget savings in
the new farm bill to fund bi-partisan priorities. Of course, this
assessment means that the House and Senate will need to compromise over
the existing differences in the two draft bills."
That's from Illinois extension on Dec. 6. A reminder: we often are too sure of our views.
