Agri-Pulse Newsmakers: Senate Ag Chair John Boozman on farm bill text release, additional farm aid

The Senate Agriculture Committee released a farm bill discussion draft this week that includes many important provisions for rural America, but doesn't address California's Proposition 12, year-round E15 or a delay of state SNAP cost-share requirements enacted in last year's One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Senate Ag Committee Chair John Boozman joins Newsmakers to discuss the bill and its path forward.

Plus, Tara Smith with Torrey Advisory Group and Anne MacMillan with Invariant discuss the broader farm bill politics at play during the midterm election year and the White House's supplemental spending request to address the cost of the war in Iran, which includes $11.1 billion in additional farm aid and support for year-round sales of E15.
