I am often asked, “Can I graze cover crops?” The answer is yes, you can. Sometimes a label we give something pigeonholes it for a specific purpose, making it difficult to think about its use in other ways.

JAMESTOWN, N.D. – North Dakota Farmers Union President Matt Perdue released this statement on today’s passage of farm bill legislation in the U.S.

With a vote of 224-200, the House farm bill has passed. Lawmakers removed three controversial pesticide labeling provisions, seen as a win for the “Make America Healthy Again” coalition. The bill also eliminates the emissions mandate for farm equipment and includes a fix for California’s Proposition 12 initiative. The House overwhelmingly rejected an attempt to drop the USDA mandate for electronic identification of cattle and bison for interstate movement.
