She stresses the importance of getting the farm bill through and notes the need to secure support in the post-election environment.

Fischer credits bipartisan work in committee for the bill’s progress, with cooperation from Democratic and Republican senators, though Democrats did not move it out of committee ahead of the election.

Nebraska U.S. Senator Deb Fischer says she’s confident the Senate farm bill will pass after the midterm elections and expects bipartisan support when the Senate reconvenes.

She remains hopeful that the final farm bill will include the nationwide, year-round E15 provision.
