OAK BROOK, Ill.—Farm Foundation®, an accelerator of practical solutions for agriculture, will host its next Forum, The Next Four Years in Ag Policy: Leading Experts Set the Stage, on Tuesday, December 8, 2020 from Noon to 2:00 p.m. CST. This moderated panel will include some of the leading voices in American agricultural policy, including:

- Darci Vetter, Vice Chair, Agriculture, Food and Trade, Edelman and former Chief Agricultural Negotiator, Office of the U.S. Trade Representative
Clinton Griffiths, anchor of AgDay Television and editor of Farm Journal, will serve as moderator. Discussion is expected to focus on the potential agricultural policy priorities of the incoming presidential administration, as panelists apply their vast expertise to look forward to what the next four years could hold for farmers, ranchers and stakeholders throughout the agriculture value chain.
“As we approach Inauguration Day, this Forum is an ideal follow-up to our October event, which focused on the candidates’ food and agriculture platforms,” said Shari Rogge-Fidler, President and CEO of Farm Foundation. “As a non-partisan organization, we are honored to provide this unique opportunity for attendees to hear rich perspectives from a diverse group of panelists with experience at the highest levels of agricultural policy.”
