Episode Details

The Senate Agriculture Committee just dropped the ball again on updating the Farm Bill — still stuck on the 2018 version while Republicans push states to fund food stamps and Democrats resist. Meanwhile, year-round E15 gasoline is being pushed despite corn’s environmental toll and engine risks. This outdated system, born when a quarter of Americans farmed, now benefits few while farmers struggle and consumers pay more. What if we ditched the Farm Bill and instead embraced five years of free trade — ending tariffs that’ve crippled U.S. agricultural exports? It might be the real “farm aid” America’s farmers need.
