Description
The Agriculture Department is pouring $3 billion into a program that
pays farmers to test out climate-friendly practices instead of forcing
them to pay for excessive carbon emissions. The initiative has gained
widespread support within the conservative farming industry, but some
climate advocates aren’t convinced it will help. POLITICO’s Garrett
Downs details why the program is popular with farmers and the pushback
from those climate activists. Plus, the U.S. Energy Information
Administration raised its U.S. oil production forecast for this year and
next.
