WASHINGTON,D.C. – Montana’s Congressman, Denny Rehberg, today issued the following statement on the new Farm Bill compromise:

“Throughout this entire process, I’ve worked with my colleagues to help keep the Farm Bill moving in the right direction.  At the same time, I’ve held numerous meetings with Montana’s farmers and ranchers to make sure their voices are heard here in Washington.  Today, after months of negotiations, it appears these efforts have finally paid off.  Over the next couple of days, I’ll be gathering feedback from Montana ag producers on whether or not this legislation meets their needs and is something they can support.  The process isn’t over but I’m encouraged by what I’ve seen so far.  It’s time we get the Farm Bill done, and we get it done right.”
