On June 23, the chair of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee published the draft text of legislation to reauthorize the Farm Bill, anticipating markup before the August 10 Congressional recess. The Senate version is very close to the bill approved by the House on April 30 and includes key forest industry priorities: support for working forests, forest health, and wood innovation.
