Signal to Noise: The Battle for the Gavel Begins

This week’s DC Signal to Noise Podcast looks at a new battle for the House Ag Committee chairmanship and the role NFU can play in USMCA negotiations.

Cong. Rick Crawford (R-Ark.) this week announced his intention to run for chairman of the House Agriculture Committee for the 117th Congress. In this week’s DC Signal to Noise Podcast, Pro Farmer Washington analyst Jim Wiesemeyer looks at how open competition for the House Ag gavel could impact the committee’s work over the next year. Wiesemeyer and Farm Journal news director John Herath also read the latest tea leaves on trade and look at where the National Farmers Union could play a key role in Congressional approval of the U.S. Mexico and Canada Agreement.
