For U.S. farmers and ranchers, Thursday, May 22 was right out of a Dickens novel: It was the best of days and the worst of days. Early–and I do mean cow-milking early–that morning, the U.S. House of Representatives teed up a vote to pass the tax-cutting, deficit-exploding 1,000-page bill favored by GOP leaders and the Trump White House. Despite two Republican members sleeping through the actual vote, the bill squeaked by in a 215-214 count.

On Feb. 21, 2018, this space outlined my assessment of Congress’s meandering approach to the overdue 2018 Farm Bill. Don’t just polish the badly tarnished 2014 Farm Bill, I urged; write a bill that “addressed” the law’s biggest flaw, “crop insurance’s inability to either slow or reverse falling farm income.”It was a waste of ink.
