AgriTalk Radio- Farm Bill Issues, Mary Kay Thatcher, Rep. Huelskamp

Mary Kay Thatcher, the Senior Director of Congressional Relations at the American Farm Bureau Federation, was a guest on today’s AgriTalk radio program with Mike Adams, where the conversation focused on the Farm Bill.

In particular, Ms. Thatcher addressed potential legislative action in the lame-duck session of Congress.

An audio replay of a portion of that discussion is available here:

Rep. Tim Huelskamp (pictured left), a member of the Ag Committee, was also on AgriTalk today.

The Kansas Republican spoke about the Farm Bill, as well as legislation he has introduced with Rep. Steve King (R, Iowa), that according to The Hill, “would repeal a U.S. Department of Agriculture rule that puts a cap on the number of calories in school lunches served to children.”
