Ben Feldman on policy priorities for the upcoming 2023 Farm Bill

As the current US Farm Bill is set to expire later this year, legislators and policy-makers are hard at work behind the scenes, negotiating and developing the massive omnibus bill that will eventually impact all of us. The details of the final bill aren't clear yet but it's never too soon to start paying close attention to the policies that will impact farmers, market managers and anyone working in the agricultural industry! To get in the zone for the 2023 Farm Bill, this week on Tent Talk, we're chatting with Ben Feldman, Executive Director of the Farmers Market Coalition. In this episode you'll get some background info on what the Farm Bill is, who and what it impacts, and why we should be making friends with our congressional representatives. This week's episode is made possible by support from the USDA.
