The outreach from the Biden transition team to ag organizations is unprecedented, according to National Corn Growers Association CEO Jon Doggett. It started with an out of the blue call from the designee for EPA Administrator and has continued with calls to a number of groups and at varying staff levels. Doggett details those interactions in a special edition of the DC Signal to Noise Podcast.
