Positive trade deals and a farm bill can provide certainty to farmers in tough times. Hallock, Minnesota farmer and the Vice-President of the American Sugarbeet Growers Association Dan Younggren thinks farmers are in a good place ahead of the farm bill conference. “We understand the crop insurance is coming through pretty much unscathed, but the proof will be in how the conferees shake all this out. It’s all going to come down to the SNAP side.” Farm Bill Focus is sponsored, in part, by the North Dakota Corn Growers Association.
