• Farm policy decisions depend on data. But even good data can lead policymakers in the wrong direction when the farm-level economics behind it aren't visible. Bart Fischer of the Agricultural and Food Policy Center (AFPC) at Texas A&M University points to a useful example in this clip from the latest Clearing the Air on Agricultural Policy podcast. The farms responsible for most U.S. agricultural production can look "large" in the data. But scale alone doesn't tell you much about the financia

• Good agricultural policy depends on credible facts. But research can only inform decisions when its findings are communicated clearly, shared in time, and presented in ways policymakers can use. That need is not new. What is changing is the speed and complexity of the issues facing agriculture—and the number of ways decision-makers receive information. Chris Boomsma, CEO of the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST), joined Clearing the Air on Agricultural Policy to explain CAS

• A months-long fertilizer supply shock out of the Middle East. Nearly $15 billion in losses from China's trade retaliation against U.S. agriculture. A sugar policy fight that put economic analysis directly in front of Congress. And a pending USDA decision on prevent plant buy-up coverage that more than 100 members of Congress are pushing to reverse.

For nearly every American. Here's what you need to know. — THIS ISN'T JUST A FARM ISSUE Most people hear "Farm Bill" and think farmers.

• In 2022, the cattle industry was pushing hard for more slaughter capacity. The former USDA Chief Economist’s response: we don’t actually need it. Wait 18 months. He was right.

And that case is almost always the hardest one to make. Full episode link in the comments. #AgPolicy #CattleIndustry #FarmPolicy #FlinchbaughCent

• "There is one thing that I don't think anybody can debate, and that is that chronic disease is getting worse.” Dietitian Beth Johnson, former acting USDA Under Secretary for Food Safety, sees that trend changing the politics of food. She calls it a big switch that Republicans, who have long said they don't want a nanny state, are now saying something needs to be done, and she sees more and more people on both sides of the aisle saying the same. How far government goes, and how, is still an ope
