| 1877090 | 6d952678-587c-4aeb-8bb1-d2c06cf7e01e | Q3 | KANSAS FARM BUREAU | 21131 | KANSAS FARM BUREAU | 2016 | third_quarter | AGR | Discussed challenges and opportunities regarding the 2014 Farm Bill crop insurance provisions, Ag Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) for cotton and the negative trade implications adding cotton to Title 1 programs will cause. Continued conversations about the issues between county level payments on the ARC-County program, specifically large differences in adjacent county payments for the 2014 and 2015 crop years. Participated in dialog regarding future farm bills, including which programs work and how anti-agricultural groups wish to completely do away with farm and nutrition programs. After a record 2016 crop yield in Kansas for wheat, discussed futures contracts and the lack of convergence in the Hard Red Winter wheat market and the impact this has on crop insurance for both the 2016 and 2017 crop years. A large wildfire burned nearly 400,000 acres (more than 640 sq. miles) in late March in Barber and Comanche Counties of Kansas. Conversations continue through June regarding how best congressional offices and USDA, including FSA, NRCS and RMA could assist the recovery efforts. Some of these programs include the Emergency Conservation Program (ECP), Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP), and the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP). Additional conversations regarding RMA and short rating wheat and other options on crop insurance were discussed. Lobbied in support of having USDA-APHIS continue to inspect catfish imports rather than FDA. Kansas Farm Bureau opposes reopening the Farm Bill through the Senate Resolutions moving the catfish inspection to FDA. | Agriculture, Dept of (USDA),Army, Dept of (Corps of Engineers),Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),Food & Drug Administration (FDA),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE,U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS),U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) | 20000 | 0 | 0 | 2016-10-13T21:21:54.113000-04:00 |
