Nebraska Farm Bureau criticizes Stabenow’s ‘egg bill’ plan

The president of Nebraska Farm Bureau says federal legislation dictating the size of cages for egg-laying hens—the so-called Egg Bill—“has no place in the Farm Bill”.

Steve Nelson says the fact that Senate Ag Committee chair Debbie Stabenow is reportedly proposing such a move is, in his words, “a slap in the face to American farm families”.  And he says to start the farm bill discussion with the egg measure threatens the prospects for passing the farm bill.
