Grassroots Government - 6-8-20

SUMMARY

This week on the podcast, Andy Brown updates us on the ruling against the use of Dicamba, a very popular herbicide on Louisiana farms. He talks about the steps Louisiana Farm Bureau is taking to help farmers use this valuable tool that is likely already on many farms ready to be applied. He also brings us the latest on the CFAP payments that are on their way to Louisiana farmers. In the state Capitol in Baton Rouge, lawmakers are finished with week one of a special legislative session. Joe Mapes fills us in on the latest on tort reform that Louisiana Farm Bureau has been watching, as well as the status of the state’s budget.
