Cambria County Farm Bureau hosted a legislative tour at Thousand Hill Dairy Farm, discussing the nation's pending $1.5 trillion Farm Bill, which covers trade, environmental policies, crop insurance, and food insecurity. Local farmers express concern over milk pricing, animal welfare, labor shortages, and a need for more funding.
