Farm Bill Catches a Break in Senate Budget

The Senate Budget Committee is scheduled to pass its FY2018 budget plan tomorrow; and the House may take up its budget blueprint this week too. What does that mean for the 2018 farm bill?The Senate Budget Committee is scheduled to vote on its proposed fiscal year 2018 budget resolution tomorrow. Of course, once the panel adopts its fiscal blueprint – assuming it does – that resolution must also pass the full Senate. Then, it must be considered in conference between the Senate and the House with the House’s own version of the budget. The House Budget Committee passed its budget resolution back in July; the full House is likely to take up that legislation this week as well.

Illuminating the value of technical research

On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
