Max Armstrong reports the continued support for conservation programs. Recently the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association continued its support showing the annual meeting has conservation programs on the list of key issues. That summer meeting sets the tone for key issues the organization promotes, and voluntary conservation programs are a key feature the group wants to see in a future farm bill. Max shares other issues the organization has on its list to promote with lawmakers.

Max Armstrong's Farm Progress America is a daily look at key issues in agriculture. It is produced and presented by Max Armstrong, veteran farm broadcaster and host of This Week in Agribusiness.
