\"Peterson\"<\/a>WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 3, 2013) \u2013 <\/b>During an address Monday to Grange members attending the organization\u2019s annual Fly-In, Ranking House Democrat Collin Peterson warned we may be seeing \u201cthe last Farm Bill,\u201d if the omnibus legislation even passes through Congress this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we can\u2019t get the votes then I think we\u2019re done until the next election,\u201d Peterson said during his luncheon address at the National Press Club. \u201cBut this might be the last Farm Bill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peterson said the bill is making some progress, and is expected to come to the House floor on the week of June 17.<\/p>\n

In spite of nearly $21 billion in proposed cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) \u2013 funding for what was formerly known as food stamps that makes up nearly 80 percent of the $1 trillion piece of legislation \u2013 Peterson said some Republicans still may not budge.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome Republicans tell me that the high water mark among the Republican Caucus is 150 (votes),\u201d Peterson said. \u201cI agreed to the SNAP cuts because (Rep.) Lucas thought it\u2019s what needed to be done in order to get the votes. For some of them, $21 billion isn\u2019t enough. For some of them, $100 billion wouldn\u2019t be enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peterson said he and Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (R-OK) believe limiting the number of amendments to no more than 30 that can be added to be bill is necessary to allow it to pass.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were very pleased and honored to have Rep. Peterson offer his insight into the Farm Bill process to our eager crowd,\u201d National Grange President Edward L. Luttrell said. \u201cOur members will be using this information as well as others they learned this week in their conversations with Representatives and Senators today and tomorrow across the Hill.\u201d<\/p>\n

The National Grange Fly-In is an annual event held to encourage members of the 145-year-old organization to speak directly to their elected officials about issues of importance to rural Americans and the agriculture sector.<\/p>\n

The Fly-In began Sunday evening with a briefing by Joel White, President of Council for Affordable Health Care Coverage, on the status of the Affordable Care Act and runs through Tuesday.<\/p>\n

After Peterson spoke, the National Grange and members proudly presented the first William Saunders Award for Rural Awareness to RAM for their Super Bowl Commercial, \u201cGod Made a Farmer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Established in 1867, the National Grange, a nonpartisan, nonprofit fraternal organization, is the oldest agricultural and rural community service organization. With more than 2,100 local chapters, the Grange has evolved into the nation\u2019s leading rural advocacy organization and a major benefactor to local communities. There are more than 160,000 members across the United States.
