Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski held an ag listening session in Springfield on Tuesday. The farmers in attendance told her that crop insurance was important to protect as a new Farm Bill is being debated. The freshman Representative says she wants to hear more from farmers and others in ag as she prepares to be a direct part of writing the next Farm Bill as a part of the House Agriculture Committee.
Budzinski is on the House Agriculture Committee and is sitting on 3 sub-committees.
