A number of farmers will be impacted by the expiration Sept. 30 of the 2008 Farm Bill, and the 2012 farm bill that’s supposed to replace it is bottled up in Congress.

Georgia 8th U.S. Rep. Austin Scott, R-Ga., begins a two-day tour Wednesday around the state to meet with farmers and discuss the pending Farm Bill, according to a news release. Each stop will focus on a specific commodity grown in the district.
