(Dow Jones) -- USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue is hitting the road in Pennsylvania, spreading the gospel about his hopes for the next American farm bill while Congress remains mired in questions over how to fund the government and solve deep divides over immigration. In a broad-ranging set of principles gleaned from Mr. Perdue's meetings with farmers across more than 30 states, USDA laid out support for "fiscally responsible" legislation that reflects Trump's budget goals. That's bound to worry stakeholders who panned steep cuts to federal agricultural programs proposed in the president's budget last year, though USDA makes a plug for some items slated for cuts, like public agricultural research.
