Ag groups have mixed reactions to the $1 trillion Senate-passed infrastructure bill.
U.S. Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack says the long-term investment in infrastructure would benefit rural America by delivering broadband to homes, communities, and businesses and upgrading roads and bridges.
He says the bill would build resilience to climate change and help farmers impacted by intensifying drought and make water infrastructure more resilient.
Allison Rivera, executive director of government affairs with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, says the bipartisan bill is a step in the right direction.
