Grain mills bill passes House and Senate committees

This week, the Indiana House Agriculture and Rural Development Committee passed House Bill 1483, and the Indiana Senate Tax and Fiscal Policy Committee passed Senate Bill 346. The bills call for a restructuring of the state’s Grain Indemnity Fund or Program to help protect Indiana grain farmers impacted by grain mill closures. They were authored in the wake of the failures of Salamonie Mills and Agland Grain in Huntington and Wells counties.
