It’s budget season on Capitol Hill, and when it comes to the federal budget, there is no better investment than farm policy.
That’s because only a fraction of a percent of federal spending is directed towards the farm safety net. Yet, that small budget supports family farmers, protects our national food security, and drives economic growth.
Dr. Bart Fischer, a Farm Bill veteran and co-director of the Agricultural and Food Policy Center at Texas A&M University, joins Farm Policy Fact’s Groundwork podcast to put the farm safety net into perspective.
