Insuring Farmers in the New Farm Bill

Zacharias says his industry group and USDA's Risk Management Agency or RMA had a good working relationship during the last Farm Bill process and he expects this new Farm Bill process will be the same.
Congressional Farm Bill writers hope to have the bill ready by March.
