Agri-Pulse Newsmakers

The inaugural episode of Agri-Pulse Newsmakers comes as USDA announced a $1 billion investment in climate-smart ag spending. In this week’s episode, we talk with Sen. John Boozman, the top Republican on the Senate Ag Committee, about how the announcement – and the funding source – will be received on Capitol Hill as well as where he stands on legislation to reform the cattle markets.

There’s also a panel discussion featuring Randy Russell and Laura Wood Peterson on the impact of USDA’s announcement on the nation’s farmers and ranchers, a look at foreign land ownership, and the latest on efforts to expand the nation’s meat processing capacity.
