**The House quietly delayed Speaker Paul Ryan’s attempt to revive the farm bill until late June, while GOP leaders try removing conservative opposition to the bill by holding a

vote on immigration control in the interim.

According to agriculture.com, Representatives agreed to the target date by passing a multipart resolution last week that set terms of debate for three bills, including a military spending bill.

The final sentence reads action on the farm bill “may continue to be postponed through the legislative day of Friday, June 22.”

**When President Trump addressed the American Farm Bureau Federation in January, he reminded them that his commitment to farmers has been clear since his Administration began.

In a statement released Thursday, the USDA reports their Departments are working hard to propose a streamlined, simplified, and improved H-2A temporary agricultural visa program, that reduces cumbersome bureaucracy and ensures adequate protections for U.S. workers.

The statement notes the Trump Administration is committed to modernizing the H-2A visa program rules in a way that’s responsive to stakeholder concerns and deepens confidence in the program.
