Senate Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee Ranking Member John Hoeven helped secure $2 million for a new Ag Policy Research Center at NDSU. Once built, the North Dakota senator said it will help decision-makers know more about ag issues that are important to the Midwest and Northern Plains. “Clearly, there are some good ideas where we can have a big impact.” Those policy issues include crop insurance, dairy policy and “getting ahead of the curve on inputs for pesticides so our farmers can continue to do what they need to do to raise their crops.”
