Biden meets with lawmakers to discuss farm bill amidst debt limit crisis and criticism over farm foreclosures.

President Joe Biden has invited a small, bipartisan group of lawmakers to the White House to discuss the upcoming farm bill reauthorization, which authorizes U.S. food and agriculture spending for the next decade. The meeting comes amid growing concerns that the debt limit stand-off could derail the traditionally bipartisan farm bill. The group of invitees includes House Agriculture Committee Chair G.T. Thompson (R-Pa.) and John Boozman (Ark.), the top Republican on the Senate Agriculture Committee, Senate Agriculture Chair Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), who is a member of Democratic leadership, and Rep. David Scott (Ga.), the top Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee.
