OSU's Amy Hagerman Talks Progress on the Crafting of the 2023 Farm Bill

Tue, 15 Feb 2022 11:49:04 CST

OSU's Amy Hagerman Talks Progress on the Crafting of the 2023 Farm Bill The Farm Bill is one big beast. It takes more than a year to compose the complex piece of legislation and following the process can easily get overwhelming for busy ranchers and farmers. That is why KC Sheperd, farm director for the Oklahoma Farm Report, and Amy Hagerman, extension specialist for agriculture and food policy at Oklahoma State University, update you on its progress, today.

Right now, the U.S. House Committees are holding hearings to evaluate each title of the existing Farm Bill, listening to how programs have performed, sharing concerns with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and getting feedback from constituents.

"So far, the conservation title and the commodities title were reviewed," Hagerman said. "There have also been some hearings on livestock market transparency. Whether those conversations directly feed into the 2023 Farm Bill or not is unknown at this point."

As the House moves through other titles, the goal is to see how to improve the next Farm Bill, Hagerman said.

"The Farm Bill touches everything from conservation and farm programs to rural development and broadband," Hagerman said. "There are special programs in there too that we might not always realize are there.

"An example would be the animal-health funding that was in the last Farm Bill (which boosted) our diagnostic laboratory capacity. What a lot of people do not realize is that a lot of our early Covid tested actually went through our animal disease diagnostic lab."

Hagerman said each investment written into the Farm Bill, seemingly big or small, has ripple effects into every part of the economy - even across the world.

Hit the LISTEN BAR to hear KC Sheperd and Amy Hagerman talk about how the Build Back Better Bill could affect the 2023 Farm Bill and more.
