Open Mic: Representative Dusty Johnson

Agri-Pulse Open Mic Interview

This week’s Open Mic guest is South Dakota Representative Dusty Johnson. Last week hundreds of farmers were in Washington calling on legislators to press forward to approve a new farm bill. Johnson says deadlines drive achievement in Congress and the challenges farmers shared with their elected leaders was more than enough to try and beat the political odds to deliver new risk management tools and nutrition programs. Johnson shares concerns about farmer use of Chinese drone technology. He is critical of the Biden administration’s immigration policy saying rules are too stringent to legally enter the country and too easy to enter illegally.
