The National Farmers Union is encouraged by steps taken by the Biden administration to confront supply chain problems and rising input costs.
NFU vice president of advocacy Mike Stranz tells Brownfield President Biden’s announcement to expand double cropping insurance and invest in domestic fertilizer production comes at a time of unprecedented disruptions.
“There’s a lot going on right now in the supply chain, and some of these moves will help to smooth that out and make the market both more competitive and more functional for farmers across the country.”
He says expanding the number of counties eligible for double cropping insurance is a good move.
