OUR OPINION: Farm Bill’s fate helps explain Berg’s woes
Rick Berg’s problem is not his campaign. Rick Berg’s problem is the Farm Bill. No, not the Farm Bill specifically, although that’s playing a role. It’s the Farm Bill as a symbol: a symbol of Republicans in the U.S. House and their refusal to compromise with Democrats, even when obvious bipartisan solutions await.

Peterson: Farm bill unlikely soon, taxpayers could take hit if talks drag into 2013
Without a new farm bill, planned food stamp cuts won’t take effect. Plus, absent a new farm bill, federal law requires crop price supports to default to those in the 1949 farm bill – much higher than today for commodities such as milk and wheat, said Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn.

In wake of Akin, Heitkamp mum on Berg abortion bill vote
In the barrage of barbs between U.S. Senate candidates Rick Berg and Heidi Heitkamp, one issue has been conspicuously absent, given how outsiders have highlighted Berg’s 2007 vote for a bill that would have criminalized abortion and made it punishable by life in prison, regardless of circumstances such as rape or incest.

Greg Svenningsen, Valley City, N.D., letter: Berg’s vote on budget doomed farm bill
The time to stand up for farmers and ranchers wasn’t just before the August recess. The time to fight was when the Ryan budget came to the floor. Reps. Rick Berg and Kristi Noem knew Ryan’s budget proposal would hurt the farm bill. They knew it was the measuring stick with which their caucus would judge a committee proposal.
