In a final effort, house and senate farm bill leaders edged closer to a new five-year farm bill plan before the end of this congressional session.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Tilsack hosted the gathering on Thursday with the top four Republicans and Democrats on the house and senate agriculture committees.
He says he remains optimistic a bill can be completed before Dec. 31, and the focus is on that goal, not just an extension.
