"Defending the societal investment in these programs remains a critical priority for our sector," says Peterson. Similarly, the ag industry supports programs related to ag research, such as the Ag and Food Research Initiative, and crucial trade programs. "Two programs in the farm bill help grow our exports: Foreign Market Development and Market Access Program," Peterson continues. "We're looking to bolster these, even in this tight budget, because international export markets are critical for our American ag economy." Given the politicized atmosphere in Washington now, none of this will be easy. "We have a very difficult budget scenario right now, where folks are looking at cuts more than anything," says Smith. "That's a difficult environment in which to write a bill." This article first appeared in Thrive, the Syngenta magazine and website for growers and other ag professionals.
