Description

Federal Ag policy is complicated and crucial for growers across the country. Fortunately, there are analysts like Jim Wiesemeyer to help clarify and contextualize action from the nation’s capital.Wiesemeyer works at Pro Farmer and has served as one of the top ag policy analysts for decades – all the way back to the Reagan and Carter Administrations. He is still going strong, providing regular updates, and speaking to growers and agricultural groups across the country.While the Farm Bill, trade, labor, and the Presidential race command a lot of energy, Wiesemeyer said sustainability is also a key issue that’s gaining momentum.“Agriculture is rebranding right now to be a participant at that sustainability table,” he said. “They’ve learned some lessons. I think it’s a good sign. But agriculture wants farmer sustainability, that’s called income sustainability, and I think there’s enough to go around.”You can follow Wiesemeyer’s work at ProFarmer.Com.
