An Illinois Congressman hopes a lame-duck session after the presidential election will lead to a new farm bill.

While a farm bill has passed out of the House of Representatives Agriculture Committee, it remains stagnant on the House floor.

Congressman Darin LaHood, a Republican from Dunlap hopes lawmakers take the issue seriously.

In November 2023, Congress voted to extend the current bill, signed under the Trump Administration.

That extension sunsets on September 30.
