Dr. Patrick Westhoff, Director of the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri–Columbia and a Professor in the MU Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics, will discuss trade disputes during an Aug. 2 webinar.

As Congress considers a new farm bill, trade disputes have had a negative impact on prices for soybeans and other agricultural commodities and the Administration has announced plans to provide additional federal support to the farm sector.

Westhoff will try to make sense of this quickly-changing situation and discuss possible implications for agricultural markets and farm program payments.

The webinar is set for 3 P.M. Central Time. The link is bit.ly/UAEX-Farm-Bill-Trade-Westhoff
