There was anticipation that USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack would focus on carbon sequestration and climate change as he addressed a virtual Commodity Classic on Friday. Instead his focus was on expanding market opportunities for farmers. 

On this week's DC Signal to Noise Podcast, Pro Farmer's Jim Wiesemeyer and John Herath of Farm Journal discuss how the expanding markets approach is another avenue for building support for USDA's carbon market plan.

Other issues analyzed in this week's podcast:

  • Latest updates on COVID relief
  • CFAP payments delayed at least a few more weeks
  • Farm Service Agency offices face staffing challenges amid COVID
  • USTR nominee Katherine Tai truly knows agriculture
  • Ag only immigration bill reintroduced in House
