Around 1 week...assuming its similar to the last farm bill

Senate is in recess all next week, so I wouldn’t expect anything until at least mid-late July, however August is still possible.

Good news is, nobody said anything bad about hemp being in there, so no doubt that we make it to the finish line, whenever that is.

My hope, before the end of July.
Realistically, by the end of Summer, IMO.
I think the SNAP amendment might be the issue that holds up the bills passage in a timely manner.

GO $HEMP 2018!!

Procedural history

Legislation in 2013

The Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013 (version H.R. 2642) was introduced into the United States House of Representatives on July 10, 2013 by Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK), the chairman of the United States House Committee on Agriculture.[14] The bill was referred to that committee. On July 11, 2013, the House voted in Roll Call Vote 353 to pass the bill 216-208, after several failed attempts were made to delay or amend the bill.[14] The United States Senate received the bill on July 16, 2013. On July 18, 2013, the Senate voted to amend the bill by replacing most of it with language from their proposed farm bill, the Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2013 (S. 954; 113th Congress). The amended bill passed the Senate by unanimous consent on July 18, 2013 and the Senate requested a conference with the House on the bill. The Senate selected Senators Stabenow, Leahy, Harkin, Baucus, Brown, Klobuchar, Bennet, Cochran, Chambliss, Roberts, Boozman, and Hoeven as their conferees.[14]

Conference committee

Eventually, on October 12, 2013, the House agreed to a conference on the bill and conferees were chosen

On January 27, 2014, the Conference Committee report was released. On January 29, 2014, the House voted 251-166 to pass the bill.[2] In the House, a majority of Republicans voted in favor of the bill (163-62) and the Democrats split almost evenly (89-103).[3] The Senate then voted 68–32 on February 4, 2014, to approve the full five-year farm bill, sending it to President Barack Obama to be signed into law.[15][16]
