A top Kansas agriculture advocate lost some of his optimism regarding the farm bill after the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee failed to move the bill forward Thursday. The farm bill includes a one-year delay but an increase in the percentage of administrative costs a state would share. Kansas farmers need a farm bill to pass, Levendofsky said. The farm bill is a big piece of legislation, Levendofsky said, that touches every part of agriculture and every person in the country. The holdup in the agriculture committee is over one of the priorities outlined in Project 2025, a document created by the Heritage Foundation compiling a conservative agenda, he said.
