In preparation for the next farm bill, the House Agriculture Committee is reviewing current policies. Farm Service Agency Administrator Zach Ducheneaux and Natural Resources Conservation Service Chief Terry Cosby testified for the conservation and forestry subcommittee this past week. Ducheneaux said programs are still being implemented. “When I came on board last February, there were a few things that hadn’t reached the finish line. One of those is the Heirs’ Property Relending program. Another aspect is the expansion of the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program.” From an NRCS perspective, Cosby said program flexibility to encourage participation will be important going forward. “EQIP is one example.” Watch the hearing.
