Care needed in writing farm bill

The heady boom of oil production in western North Dakota has overshadowed what also has been a very good time for agriculture. Net farm income nationwide is expected to be more than 30 percent higher than in 2009, and 26 percent higher than the 10-year average that began in 2000. North Dakota’s farm economy has been solid, although complicated by recent wet springs that have made getting crops in more difficult.
