MANHATTAN, Kan. (RFD-TV) — The past year proved to be an eventful one for agriculture, with a number of legal issues affecting farmers and ranchers, ranging from property rights to input regulations. As the industry looks ahead, many are questioning how these developments could shape the year to come.
Roger McEowen with the Washburn University School of Law joined us on Tuesday’s Market Day Report to break down his top 10 agricultural law issues from the past year and discuss what they could mean moving forward.
In an interview with RFD-TV News, McEowen discussed item 10 on his list: pesticide litigation. He provided a recap of the key cases involved and outlined the central legal issues at stake. McEowen also discussed some of the outcomes from those cases and shared his perspective on what those rulings could mean for farmers in the year ahead.
Before wrapping up the conversation, McEowen also weighed in on USDA’s recently released per-acre payment rates for the Farmer Bridge Assistance Program, offering his thoughts on the rates and their potential impact.
