NCBA is optimistic the Trump Administration will cut more red tape

Industry leaders hope a new makeup in Washington will help a new Farm Bill cross the finish line.

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) says after working with the first Trump Administration, they are hopeful for the next.

“That means lowering taxes. That means lowering some of the regulatory red tape that makes it hard for businesses to operate. It means continuing to build his legacy in the court system, where we’ve already seen a tremendously improved landscape on issues like WOTUS,” said Ethan Lane.

Lawmakers are expected back on the Hill next week, but several government spending bills are their first order of business. Some ag lawmakers think another extension of the Farm Bill is likely, but others believe a new five-year bill can get passed during the lame duck session.
