Indiana Soybean Producers Dive into Ag Policy Talks at Commodity Classic

Indiana Soybean Producers Dive into Ag Policy Talks at Commodity Classic


By Andi Anderson

Indiana soybean farmers, producers, and agricultural leaders are gathering in Houston, Texas, for Commodity Classic, the country's largest farmer-led agricultural event. This year's conference promises to be one of the biggest ever, according to Phil Ramsey, a local farmer and leader in several agricultural organizations.

Policy and Collaboration in Focus:

Ramsey, who anticipates a busy week of meetings with fellow agricultural leaders, highlights two key areas of discussion:

The Farm Bill: Securing its passage before another extension is a top priority for the industry.

The 'WOTUS' (Waters of the U.S. Rule): Ongoing efforts to address this longstanding challenge remain crucial.

Direct Dialogue with Industry Leaders: Commodity Classic provides a unique platform for farmers to engage directly with executives from various companies, allowing them to:

Share their perspectives: Farmers can voice their concerns and priorities to industry leaders directly.

Discuss real-world impacts: Farmers have the opportunity to explain how industry decisions affect their livelihoods.

A Glimpse into the Future:

Beyond policy discussions, the event showcases cutting-edge agricultural technologies, including drones and precision agriculture. This provides farmers with valuable insights into the future of their industry.
