AgNet Weekly: ASTA Farm Bill Recommendations

Sabrina Halvorson AgNet Weekly

Research and innovation, fairness to farmers when it comes to conservation programs. Those are just some of the recommendations the American Seed Trade Association has for the 2023 Farm Bill. Joining us on the phone this week is President and CEO of the American Seed Trade Association, Andy LaVigne.

Each week we highlight essential legislative and policy conversations affecting agriculture nationwide. Host Sabrina Halvorson is a 30-year media veteran known nationally for her award-winning, balanced, and accurate reporting. For more than 10 years, she has specialized in agriculture news focused on political issues. While most agriculture news podcasts focus primarily on Midwest crops, we uniquely understand specialty crops, their regions, and their related industries. AgNet Weekly also traverses the legislative issues of the livestock industry and other matters related to California and Southeast agriculture.
