2024 Priority Issues
Farm Bill
Congress should increase investments in working lands conservation programs and agricultural export promotion programs.
I FEED Act
The bipartisan Innovative Feed Enhancement and Economic Development (Innovative FEED) Act (H.R.6687 and S. 1842) would establish a new category of non-nutritive animal food additives that provide production, health and environmental benefits.
Lower Snake River Dams
NGFA opposes any actions by federal or state governments that could result in breaching the Lower Snake River dams (LSRD).
Rail Transportation
The Reliable Rail Service Act (S.2071) would better define Class I rail carriers’ common carrier obligation. NGFA also supports the Keeping International Land Ports of Entry Open Act to prevent shutdowns of rail crossings between the U.S. and Mexico.
Trade
NGFA opposes efforts to strip China of its Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) status. Agricultural export volumes for 2024 are predicted to decline for several major commodities and flip to a $30.5 billion deficit in 2024.
Water Resources Development Act
NGFA supports the “Thomas R. Carper Water Resource Development Act of 2024” passed out of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.
