The Farm Bill and Rural Development Lending
We would like to thank everyone for attending the 2017 Annual National Rural Lenders’ Roundtable on Thursday, December 7th in Washington! We had a record turnout, with over 75 attendees this year. Congressman Sanford Bishop, Keynote Speaker and Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, addressed the Roundtable’s members and spoke of his passion of getting capital to rural America’s Main Street. He praised USDA’s rural lending programs and thanked rural lenders for their support.
He discussed the Farm Bill — every five years Congress writes a new Farm Bill with the next one beginning on October 1, 2018.
As Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Congressman Bishop will be a major influence in writing the new Farm Bill.
