Senator Al Franken is co-sponsoring a new five-year farm bill that is similar to the bi-partisan measure passed in 2012.

He says he was disheartened when the old farm bill was extended nine months during the fiscal cliff negotiations.

Franken says he's trying to secure funding for rural energy, conservation and young farmers and ranchers programs.

He's holding farm bill meetings in St.Charles and Albert Lea this weekend to gather input from Minnesota producers.
