# Daybreak Nov. 5: Heitkamp hopes for bipartisanship in ag | Agri-Pulse Communications, Inc.

> Former Senator Heidi Heitkamp and former House Agriculture Chairman Collin Peterson said Democrats taking control of Congress after the midterms could restore bipartisan farm policy, following Republican losses in rural districts. A partisan dispute over SNAP cost shifts is threatening a farm bill deal, though Senate Agriculture leaders say they are committed to a bipartisan path.

## Why it matters

A farm bill deal would set US commodity support and crop insurance for years, so renewed bipartisanship lowers the risk of a policy stall. The near-term price effect is limited because the outcome remains uncertain.
