94 - Washington Wheat, Politics, and Environmentalism - with Randy Suess

The Business of Agriculture Podcast - A podcast by Damian Mason - Mondays

Categories:

Randy Suess is a recently retired Washington wheat farmer and former chairman of U.S. Wheat Associates. Randy is still involved in Agriculture through farm ownership and lobbying on behalf of the wheat industry. He joins me to discuss trade – which is vitally important to Washington state’s Ag sector. We also talk about the new world order of wheat and the impact on Ag from political movements masking as environmentalism. They used to say, “What happens on the coasts eventually comes to middle America.” If that's the case, we in the Business of Agriculture should be very concerned about environmental agendas that make voters “feel good” while harming Agriculture. Remember, as I always say, it’s never about the facts, it’s always about the feelings. Listen to this!
