# Thune says Senate Ag Committee will not be ready with farm bill by end of September due date - Agweek | #1 source for agriculture news, farming, markets

> Senator John Thune said the Senate Agriculture Committee will need more time than the September 30 deadline to finish the farm bill. If no action is taken, the 2018 bill expires, unless a short-term extension is passed. Thune also said he hopes to see improvements to the ARC and PLC safety-net programs.

## Why it matters

A delay makes a short-term extension more likely, which keeps existing support programs in place and avoids an immediate change in market conditions. Any changes to safety-net payments would take time and funding to materialize.
