Early this morning, the U.S. House Committee on Agriculture approved the #FarmBill.
We are encouraged by the work this Committee has accomplished in moving this bill in a bipartisan fashion, uplifting rural America and bolstering the agricultural value chain and those who help fill our grocery shelves and produce stands. This momentum should continue to the House floor, and we urge similar work in the Senate. We recognize the complexity of an election year, but it is critical that Committee and Congressional leaders come together to get a farm bill to the President’s desk.

Dan Basse of @AgResource returns to #ASTAFieldCrop for a 13th year to share his ag economic forecast. "Equipment cost and gas has risen dramatically, but corn and soy seed cost/acre remains steady." #JustGrowIt
Last week, ASTA staff joined Rise Against Hunger and Kraft Heinz for a meal packing event. In less than two hours, our team helped pack 25,000 nutritious meal kits headed to South Sudan. As the first step in the value chain, we are honored to be a part of the solution towards feeding a growing global population.
Congrats to U/S Fordyce, Hoskins, and Hutchins! ASTA looks forward to working with you to ensure farmers + landowners have access to quality, professionally produced seed + to 21st century ag tech, while seeking continued support for research programs that keep US #ag + our economy globally competitive.

Lost in the shuffle of Scottie Scheffler winning the @PGAChampionship I failed to post this moment of Bennett Scheffler standing for the first time (I think). Mom's reaction is so pure. Just adorable. #PGAChampionship#Scheffler
