Delegates, elected officials, farmers, and industry representatives gathered in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention this week. We dove into discussions about trade, immigration, and energy proposed in the GOP platform that could change the policy landscape after the November election.
Kellyanne Conway, Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign manager and also his former counselor, joined the show to discuss the role rural voters could play in the 2024 election. She also shared her perspective on action Trump could take as president to balance trade, including potentially providing a bailout for farmers similar to his last presidency if retaliatory tariffs impact ag markets.
Then, House Ag Committee Chair Rep. Glenn “GT” Thompson and Senate Ag Committee Ranking Member John Boozman join the show together to discuss their outlook on what a Trump-Vance administration could mean for agriculture. They look forward to the opportunity for a changing regulatory environment for agriculture and immigration reform.
