What's next for the Farm Bill?

The Farm Bill. A piece of legislation that quietly shapes much of life in this country - especially for those of us in rural America. The Farm Bill influences everything from food access to conservation, crop insurance to rural infrastructure. And yet, for how far-reaching it is, most Americans know very little about what’s actually in it - or what’s at stake when it comes up for renewal. To help unpack the history, the politics, and the uncertain path ahead, Lesli Allison, our CEO here at Western Landowners Alliance, speaks with two former high-ranking staffers who served in the Senate Agriculture Committee, Jonathan Coppess, former chief counsel under former senator and chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, a Democrat from Michigan, and Joel Leftwich, a former staff director under former senator and chairman Pat Roberts, a Republican from Kansas.
