Leading ag groups oppose the White House budget proposal. One of them is the American Soybean Association, which says the deep cuts would hurt agriculture.
ASA Communications Director Patrick Delaney says, “These are programs that really help farmers in the form of reducing their risk, in the form of helping to create markets overseas.”
Delaney tells Brownfield the 36% or 28-and-a-half billion dollar cut to crop insurance would be huge and believes the program has become a victim of misunderstanding and misinformation.
