 State Senator Tina Smith was in Black Duck this week to talk to farmers that have dealt with flooding this spring. Some farmers never got to plant this spring because their fields never dried out enough to get a tractor in it. Smith is the chair of the Subcommittee on Commodities, Risk Management and Trade. The current farm bill expired at the end of last September, but most programs have continued through extensions. The Black Duck event was hosted by Black Duck Co-op Ag Services.
