Lot of Work to Be Done: NASDA weighs in on their top priorities for 2025

“Top of mind across all of agriculture is to see a Farm Bill get across the finish line.”

Ag trade is at the top of the farm sector’s mind this week. While tariffs against Canada and Mexico have been paused, the supply chain remains alert for any looming impacts.

NASDA Senior Director of Public Policy RJ Karney spoke with RFD-TV’s Suzanne Alexander on the industry’s reaction to the paused tariffs, the policy focus for the year, and the Farm Bill.
