This morning I had the privilege of interviewing Bill Northey.  Bill was the USDA Undersecretary of Farm Production and Conservation in the Trump Administration.

Some of the key topics that we discussed are:

  • How FSA and NCRS functions were consolidated under one umbrella at USDA;
  • How payments limits were updated for CFAP and MFP;
  • Some discussion on why payment and AGI limits are warranted, but perhaps some adjustments make more sense (such as allowing LLCs and Corporations to have more than one payment limit);
  • How climate change may affect farm economics.

Please take the time to listen to the interview.
