National Association of Wheat Growers President Nicole Berg describes the farm bill as ‘harvest season.’ Crop insurance is a top priority. Additional farm bill funding is also being sought for Market Access Program and Foreign Market Development export promotion. “Being from the Pacific Northwest, 90 percent of our wheat goes overseas. We’re looking to double MAP and FMD funding because it is such a successful program more people are taking a piece of the pie. That’s great for agriculture across the country, but we need more money so we can keep investing into those foreign markets.”
