This week, we’re diving into the massive new legislation that’s making waves in ag policy and we’ve brought back one of our favorite repeat guests, Tanner Beymer from NCBA, to break it all down.

Tanner joins Katharine and Valene to unpack the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” signed on July 4th, offering insider insights on what it means for agriculture, rural communities, and the cattle industry. From permanent tax exemptions and estate planning protections to critical wins in animal health and disaster relief, this sweeping bill gives cattle producers more support than ever before.

They also cover the complexities of public lands, SNAP debates, and why the farm bill coalition in Washington is changing fast. Tanner offers a behind-the-scenes look at what went into shaping the bill, how different ag sectors fared, and what’s next on the policy horizon—including appropriations deadlines, regulatory fights, and more animal health concerns like screw worm and high-path avian influenza.

If you want clarity on how big federal decisions actually affect ag, and who’s working behind the scenes to protect your industry, this episode is a must-listen.
