Two major agricultural bills are stuck in the Senate, leaving North Dakota farmers in limbo. The five-year Farm Bill, meant to bolster farm safety net and rural infrastructure, and the E-15 biofuel bill, which would allow year-round sale of higher ethanol gasoline, both passed the House but are now stalled.
