Listen "Ep. 36 (Dr. Bart Fischer, Federal Investments in Farm Policy)"
Episode Synopsis
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.
