The 2012 Farm Bill passed the Senate last year, but stalled in the House.
Now that a revised version has passed both chambers, the Michigan Farm Bureau is supporting what it says is good agriculture legislation for the state.
The bill passed the Senate on Tuesday and it was passed in the House on Wednesday.
Ryan Findlay with the Michigan Farm Bureau explains what's next for the legislation.
"Each chamber has indicated there will be amendments offered. We don't know how many and we don't know what those amendments will be. Civics 101, you would have to have conference committee on the two different bills. So a conference committee would be appointed by leadership and they would iron out the differences between those."
Findlay said once the committee helps each side to an agreement, the bill is brought back for another pair of floor votes.
The Senate has scheduled a vote for the new version next week.
The House has not yet planned a date for that vote.
The deadline to adopt the bill is September 30th.
