Klobuchar recently helped pass the bipartisan 2012 Farm Bill in the Senate by a vote of 64-35. The 5-year bill would reduce the deficit by $23 billion, keep a strong safety net in place for farmers, maintain the sugar program, and strengthen the dairy program.
The bill has stalled in the House.
Klobuchar was also endorsed by the Minnesota Farmers Union earlier this month at Farmfest......
