farm bill

U.S. Rep. Nick Langworthy was in the village of Painted Post in Steuben County recently to share a newly introduced bill to fund trade skill development in rural workforces. The bill would accompany the currently stalled federal farm bill and provide eligible companies and schools with millions of dollars in grants.

People submitted input to a panel of lawmakers, including the chairman of the House Agriculture Committee Friday.

The new Farm Bill was passed by Congress last week. A few hours before the vote, Southern Tier Congressman Tom Reed said parts of the bill may help small and mid-sized dairy farmers in his 23rd Congressional District.
