Agri-Pulse Open Mic: Garrett Hawkins- President, Missouri Farm Bureau Federation

This week’s Open Mic guest is Garrett Hawkins, President of the Missouri Farm Bureau Federation. Hawkins says his state’s farmers echo calls to Washington to get a new, modernized farm bill approved as quickly as possible. Hawkins says his state takes issue with the Biden administration’s Green New Deal policies favoring electricity instead of an “all of the above” approach to the nation’s energy future. Missouri landowners are facing property rights issues as the private Grain Belt Express has been given the power of eminent domain to run transmission lines across the state.
