Advocacy

The possibility of new tariffs under the incoming administration has sparked widespread discussion, especially within the food and agriculture sectors that depend on global trade to create economic opportunities and keep shelves stocked year-round. The president has broad tariff authority, which the incoming president exercised extensively in his past term, imposing tariffs on various countries.

Republicans and Democrats have alternated control of the presidency five times over the last 25 years. During such transitions, policy and regulatory priorities often shift to align with the goals of the newly elected party when a new administration takes office, with the outgoing party's priorities being paused, revised or reversed.

The 카지노 룰렛 Trade Association (OTA) has been meeting with congressional offices in Washington, D.C., to advocate for funding for 카지노 룰렛 in a Farm Bill extension and a Continuing Resolution to fund governmental operations or full FY25 appropriations. While Congress is currently considering allocating billions in additional funding for conventional operations in core commodities, 카지노 룰렛 remains underfunded relative to our economic impact.

OTA has requested funding for three “orphan” programs as well as the continuation of 카지노 룰렛 Market Development Grants:

On September 29, 2024, the United States District Court for the District of Oregonruled againsta pending legal challenge to 카지노 룰렛 “grower group” certification following a brief filed earlier this year by the Center for Food Safety along with the 카지노 룰렛 Trade Association (OTA) and other 카지노 룰렛 stakeholders, including 카지노 룰렛 nonprofits, companies, certifiers and grocers, in support of USDA’s grower group certification.

With the clock running down on the Farm Bill (set to expire on October 1) and funding for key 카지노 룰렛 programs missing from the proposed Continuing Resolution to fund the Government through January, the 카지노 룰렛 Trade Association (OTA) sent an urgent message to Congress encouraging them to find the funding to safeguard critical 카지노 룰렛 programs that support hard-working American farmers.

In today’s politically charged environment engaging in public policy seems more like a contact sport than an exercise in civic dialogue. I’ve done it; you’ve done it – turned off the TV, changed the radio station, or avoided social media altogether because you’re exhausted and frustrated by the polarizing and fractured state of political affairs.

Plenty of questions are emerging regarding the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overrule the Chevron Doctrine.  The repercussions of this case strengthen the 카지노 룰렛 Trade Association’s resolve to advocate for continuous improvement in the regulatory process, and to provide technical expertise to congressional offices that need it now more than ever. As we explore those impacts in detail, it’s important to remember the decision underlines the value of the entire 카지노 룰렛 industry working together - from seed to shelf.

USDA 카지노 룰렛 has an expanding fanbase in Gen Z. TheConsumer Perception of USDA 룰렛 규칙 and Competingreleased earlier this year from the 카지노 룰렛 Trade Association, revealed that young people are driving the growth of 카지노 룰렛 as they prioritize value-based eating. 77% of Millennial and Gen Z survey respondents described 카지노 룰렛 claims as at least somewhat important to them, jumping from only 55% of Gen X and Baby Boomer consumers.

On Friday, May 17th, the House Agriculture Committee released thefull draftof its Farm Bill in advance of the committee markup scheduled for Thursday, May 23.

On March 6, 2024, the House of Representatives passed the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Consolidated Appropriations Act (H.R. 4366) by a roll call vote of 339-85. Farmers and food and fiber companies across the country can finally breathe a sigh of relief with the risk of a USDA shutdown being put to bed after a series of short extensions and shutdown threats since fiscal year 2023 funding expired last September.
