Our summer intern Maddie takes a turn in the host chair to talk with BJ and Spencer about last night's primary election results and the potential federal stimulus bill.

Eric, Spencer, and BJ discuss the latest developments with Broadband, Meat Processors, Trade, the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA), and the MO Legislature Special Session. At the end, they reveal who they will be supporting as our next President!

Eric and Spencer discuss the new trade agreement covering the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, plus developments with the Missouri State Fair and their favorite Fourth of July traditions.

After months of quarantine, Eric and Spencer are back together in person! They discuss this year's Policy Development Questionnaire, which for the first time will be available online as well as in the Summer 2020 Show Me MOFB Magazine.

COVID-19 has upended the best-laid plans, including the MOFB policy development process. Eric and Spencer discuss the changes for 2020 and the hottest topics for this year's policy book.

USDA has begun implementing the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program, or CFAP, to help farmers weather the current storm. We hosted a telephone town hall with USDA officials to get details for our members.
