The USDA continues its farmer-led approach to climate smart agriculture, but the agriculture industry still has questions.
USDA Under Secretary of Farm Production and Conservation Robert Bonnie says the agency is trying to figure out how to best monitor and measure newly implemented climate smart farming practices.
“We need to know what practices are happening where, the impacts on climate and productivity, because we think we can get productivity gains for agriculture here as well.”
Missouri Soybean CEO Gary Wheeler says USDA should also recognize early adopters of on-farm conservation and sustainability efforts.
