Western Illinois Congressman Eric Sorenson plans to vote no on a new farm bill unless the nutrition program is in the budget.

The current farm bill, signed in 2018, was extended through 2024 due to lawmakers failing to reach common ground. Sorensen says failing to put nutrition programs into a new farm bill could devastate his district.

The current extension of the farm bill expires on September 30.

Finding common ground before the general election could be difficult as the Democrats control the Senate and Republicans control the House.
