Brownfield Ag News Launches “Inside D.C.” Weekly Farm Policy Program Covering Farm Bill, Regulations, and Producer Issues

From farm bills to regulatory challenges, America’s farmers and ranchers face a wide range of policy-related issues. Brownfield Ag News has launched Inside D.C., a weekly program that takes a deep dive into these issues and why they matter.

Each Monday, Missouri-based anchor and reporter Carah Hart hosts a conversation with policymakers and subject-matter experts to break down the decisions made in the Beltway and how they impact farms and ranches across the country.

“The decisions made in Washington, D.C. don’t stay there; they directly influence the price of seed, feed, fuel costs, crop insurance options, and the rules farmers work under every season,” says Inside D.C. host Carah Hart. “When farmers understand how policy impacts their operation, they can plan ahead and protect their future. Inside D.C. is designed to give them the insight they need to make confident, informed decisions.”

The program launched in December 2025. Previous episodes can be found on Brownfield TV on the Brownfield Ag News website, on Brownfield’s YouTube channel, and under the Video tab at AgriAmerica.com and on the AgriAmerica app.

Brownfield Ag News creates and delivers original content across multiple media platforms. Brownfield includes the largest agricultural news radio network in the country. Nearly 600 affiliate radio stations in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Kansas, and the Delta region carry agricultural programming produced by Brownfield’s award-winning team of farm broadcasters.
