USDA, USAID allocate $670M in global food aid
USDA and the U.S. Agency for International Development are taking the extraordinary step to draw down the full balance of the Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust as part of an effort to provide $670 million in food assistance to countries in need as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Russia’s unprovoked war on Ukraine, a fellow major agricultural export country, is driving food and energy costs higher for people around the world,” says Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. “America’s farmers, ranchers and producers are uniquely positioned through their productivity, and through the Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust, to help directly feed those around the world impacted by these challenges.”

Senate kicks off farm bill discussion in Michigan
“We are deeply committed to working together to solve problems in these unprecedented times. And we will. We will move forward,” says Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., at the conclusion of the first farm bill field hearing held Friday on the campus of Michigan State.
Stabenow helped write the past two farm bills with former Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., and now will be working with new ranking member Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark., who joined her Friday, to formulate where common ground can be found ahead of the farm bill expiration in September 2023.

Food prices expected to increase near 6% in 2022
Back in January USDA Economist Matthew MacLachlan was forecasting that retail food price inflation this year would finally cool down from the 3.5% increases in 2020, and also in 2021, and was projecting food price hikes this year would run only between 1.5 and 2.5%.
Those projections four months ago are far removed from the April forecast for 2022 food prices.

ADSA Joins in Urging Budget Support for USDA ARS
ADSA joined 50 other members of the Friends of the Agricultural Research Service (FARS) Coalition in a letter to leaders of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees expressing thanks for their support of the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in FY 2022 and urging continued support in the FY 2023 Budget. The letter noted that ARS is uniquely positioned to support critical long-term agricultural research across a variety of climates and agricultural settings, including the Long Term Agro-Ecosystem Research (LTAR) sites, the Resilient Economic Agricultural Practices (REAP) sites, and the USDA Climate Hubs. ARS also develops and maintains numerous, agriculturally significant, long-term datasets and is home to the National Agricultural Library, the world’s largest collection devoted to agriculture. You can see this and past advocacy letters in the Advocacy area of the ADSA Website. |
