- USDA data show Stephen Vaden said the agency paid out $1.46 billion to more than 255,000 farmers since July 10 and $8 billion to over 571,000 farmers for relief programs.
- Panelists including Craig, ranking member of the House Agriculture Committee, criticized the bill’s cuts to SNAP and Medicaid, saying they will hurt rural communities.
- Beyond farm programs, recently announced trade deals were seen as signs of optimism for agriculture, and panelists discussed gray wolves, conservation, and California’s Proposition 12 impacts.
