WASHINGTON – At a hearing of the Senate Agriculture Committee last week, Senator John Hoeven discussed efforts to advance key priorities for farm country with agriculture industry leaders from across the U.S. The hearing included testimony from leaders in the soybean, sugarbeet, wheat, corn and barley industry, representing crops that are foundational to North Dakota’s agriculture economy. In particular, Hoeven discussed with the witnesses the importance of:

• Passing a strong farm bill that makes needed investments in the farm safety net, including:
  • Improving the affordability of higher levels of crop insurance coverage, consistent with Hoeven’s FARMER Act.
  • Updating reference prices under the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs.
• Improving access to foreign markets for U.S. farmers and ranchers.
  • Hoeven stressed that, during his first term, President Trump was able to use tough trade policies like tariffs to remove market barriers in, and improve producer access to, nations like China, Canada and Mexico.
  • The senator highlighted how the president is working to build upon this progress, having already secured initial concessions from Canada and Mexico in ongoing negotiations.
