WASHINGTON, June 21, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --The National Association of Professional Insurance Agents (PIA) praised passage by the U.S. House of Representatives of H.R. 2, the Agriculture and Nutrition Act of 2018, more popularly known as the 2018 Farm Bill. The final vote was 213-211. The bill contained only modest changes to the federal crop insurance program.

"When America's farmers need crop insurance, they turn to their PIA agents."
PIA National will continue to work with the Senate as the upper chamber's version of the 2018 Farm Bill moves toward a debate and vote on the Senate floor.
