During the Senate Agriculture Committee hearing, North Dakota Senator John Hoeven asked Farm Service Agency Administrator Zach Ducheneaux for ways to improve risk management for livestock producers. “Our livestock programs lag behind our crop programs by virtue of being newer so there’s room to evolve,” said Ducheneaux. “We really appreciate the flexibility that we’re offered because that lets us find that solution in a more timely manner. Another of the strength of the programs is they’re funded through the CCC which allows us to again make more timely decisions.”
