Farmers Looking for Long-Term Farm Bill

Late Tuesday night, Congress passed part of the Farm Bill, keeping many of the existing farm programs in place, including direct payments and crop insurance.

The extension passed, keep things in tact this year, but farmers still have some concerns.

Dane Hebert is a third generation rice farmer. He has spent his whole life on the same farm, through the best and worst of economic times.

"We're looking forward to getting one more year of direct payments which helps subsidize our income and keep us on the rice farm."

After this year, direct payments could end, which could affect farmers and consumers. Hebert says in order to survive, the price of rice would go up.
