The problem is that the bill still doesn't have the votes, even among Republicans. So why's Senator Lee pushing for this move?

This week, host Lane Nordlund sat down with National Potato Council CEO Kam Quarles to talk about the high-stakes policy issues facing potato growers before Congress takes its August recess. Quarles breaks down the ongoing negotiations over specialty crop grower aid, the push to pass a new Farm Bill by the end of 2026, and the newly introduced Securing Agriculture's Workforce Act. He also shares details from a recent White House dinner with President Donald Trump and previews the upcoming National Potato Council Summer Meeting in Detroit. 

The August Recess has been a staple of the congressional calendar for decades. In the 1960s the demands placed on the US Congress were changing. Lawmaking had moved from a part-time to a full-time gig. And as the pace of life intensified, so too did the workload on legislators. Looking for a way to balance their busy schedules with those of families, some members of Congress pushed for a defined summer recess. This they received in the form of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970. Now, every summer, the Congress takes a recess in the month of August, allowing members to go home, meet with constituents, or simply take vacation. But the political machine in Washington never stops turning, and when the members come back, more work is always waiting. So it is now, as Congress returns this week. Here to discuss what we might expect over this next session is Steve Chartan, Vice president of Government Relations, here at the Heritage Foundation.

Congress Returns to the Capitol After August Recess; Trump Admin. to Defend Tariffs at Supreme Court | NTD Good MorningLawmakers are returning to Washington this week to tackle important bills on national security as well as on crime and violence in U.S. cities. The Trump administration is working with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) to pass a “Comprehensive Crime Bill,” which is expected to address issues like cashless bail and increased police funding. Congress will also have to pass government funding for fiscal year 2026 before the end of September, or else face a government shutdown.The Trump administration is heading to the Supreme Court to defend the sweeping tariffs struck down by a lower court. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the tariffs are critical to fixing trade deficits and fighting fentanyl, and he's preparing a legal brief to underscore the urgency. White House trade adviser Peter Navarro is calling it the most important economic case in U.S. history. Meanwhile, the administration is also weighing a national housing emergency measure that could ease tariffs on building materials.Trump urged drug companies on Monday to make public the data on COVID vaccines that they've shared with him to clear up uncertainties over the drugs' effectiveness. The president is demanding an answer as, he says, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is "being ripped apart" over the question. Just last week, the CDC director was fired over disagreements on vaccine policy with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Several officials have also stepped down in protest.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports on what's ahead for Congress as they return from their August recess.

Debbie Curtis and Rodney Whitlock join Julia Grabo to reflect on the year so far and look into their crystal ball for August recess and beyond.

Congress is back in session this week with the House wrapping up its work before its August recess. On the agenda: legislation to increase financial oversight of the Veterans Affairs department, and votes on bills to increase penalties on people who reenter the U.S. after being deported, and to reform the Clean Water Act's permitting process. The Senate still has another work week before leaving for their annual break. On their agenda: confirmation votes for several executive nominations. Hanging over all of this--the ongoing issue of the Jeffrey Epstein files. House Speaker Mike Johnson says doesn't have any plans to put a resolution on the floor that calls for the Trump administration to release Epstein files. Instead, he wants to give administration time to put out documents on its own. And yesterday was the six-month anniversary of the second Trump administration, and polls say Americans are giving the president mixed reviews. A new Decision Desk HQ poll shows the president's disapproval rating near its highest level since January. Meanwhile, a new CBS News poll shows Americans say they want the president to focus on consumer prices instead of raising tariffs. And the Washington Post's polling average showing a clear downturn in the president's approval rating on immigration. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The American Farm Bureau Federation is encouraging farmers and ranchers to take advantage of the August recess to advocate for agriculture. Micheal Clements shares more. Thomas Capps: Things are farley quiet in our nation's capital – as law makers are back in their home states for the August recess. But as Michael Clements reminds us – now is the perfect time to take of advantage of the recess and advocate for agriculture. Clements: Lawmakers from the House and Senate are on the annual August recess and back in their respective districts and states. Tom Donnelly, American Farm Bureau Federation Director of Grassroots Program Development, says lawmakers will spend that time hearing from voters. Donnelly: So, it's a great time for farmers and ranchers to meet with and communicate with lawmakers. This year is especially important since Congress is working to reauthorize the Farm Bill. And we've been encouraging our members and all farmers and ranchers to make sure that they take advantage of the August recess and discuss the merits of the Farm Bill, how it has helped them over the last five years and what changes would make it better going forward. Clements: He says there are several ways to do so. Donnelly: If you don't know who your lawmaker is, you can easily go to FB.org/lookup, enter your street address and your zip code, and that will show you who your lawmakers are. Make sure you sign up for a lawmaker's e-newsletter, that way you'll be informed when they're back in town, and you can even sign up for a town hall meeting and visit a county fair when they're there, and you can always schedule a meeting with lawmakers' staff. Also, don't forget to offer the opportunity to visit your farm or ranch. Clements: Donnelly says forming a relationship with lawmakers can set farmers or ranchers up to be a resource for those elected officials well into the future. Donnelly: And when they get active, when they engage on a legislative or regulatory issue, their voices are heard. That's the importance of grassroots advocacy to get out there, meet with your lawmakers, tell them what's going on in your town, in your district, in your county, at your farm, at your ranch, and make sure that they hear the agriculture voice. Clements: Visit FB.org/advocacy to learn more. Micheal Clements, Washington. Thomas Capps: A good reminder that your voice is just a powerful as anyone else's.For Tennessee Home and farm radio, I'm Thomas Capps
