Nebraska farmers were looking forward to Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue’s appearance at a town hall event at the Nebraska State Fair on Friday. However his visit was cancelled at the last minute, apparently because of weather-related travel issues.
Perdue is likely to have faced some tough questions on trade and RFS waivers. But another source of frustration for farmers this summer has been USDA crop estimates. Many farmers think USDA has failed to account for lost acres and the lateness of the crop in many areas.
