The Senate overwhelmingly cleared a bill Thursday to keep the government funded through Nov. 21 and replenish the account that USDA relies on to make trade-assistance and commodity program payments. The continuing resolution, which the Senate approved 82-15, passed the House easily last week and is expected to be signed into law by President Donald Trump. Going forward, USDA is required to provide Congress with estimates for its MFP payments along with an analysis of the trade damages used to calculate them. (Agri-Pulse)
