House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) pledged “this is the year to do a farm bill.” McCarthy delivered remarks at a listening session for the House Agriculture Committee at the World Ag Expo in California on Tuesday. He cited the bipartisan attendance at the event, which included both Republicans and Democrats. But McCarthy also signaled Republicans will review work requirements in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps), a topic that could stall action on the farm bill if seen as too onerous.
