At Commodity Classic we caught a quick but valuable conversation with Richard Fordyce, Undersecretary for Farm Production and Conservation at USDA and a farmer from Bethany, Missouri.
While Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins toured the John Deere booth, the Farm4Profit Podcast sat down with Fordyce to talk about what is working in agriculture today.
In this WWIA segment we discuss the direction of the agency's farmers deal with most including FSA, NRCS, and RMA. Fordyce shares insight on bridge payments ease and speed of implementation, modernizing acreage reporting, New Farm Bill chat, and making USDA programs work better for farmers and ranchers.
With experience both as a producer and in the government, Fordyce understands the real-world challenges farmers face when working with government programs.
If you want to stay informed on farm policy, USDA programs, and what changes could impact your operation, this is a conversation you will want to hear.
