Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) is pleased that the most recent Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) report on the Strategy to Make Our Children Healthy Again included a lot more input from the agriculture sector.

“I think the first rendition of MAHA was written without much input from agriculture,” said Sen. Marshall during the Ag Outlook Forum last week in Kansas City. “But between the first one and the second one, over 250 agriculture groups went to the White House and spoke with the people writing that – Secretary Kennedy, Secretary Rollins, who’s just been an incredible voice for agriculture – having more influence on what that second report was going to look like. And so it was an educational process of explaining, you know, the difference between organic farming versus regenerative farming and some of the great things that we are doing in agriculture as well.”

During an on-stage conversation with Agri-Pulse Founder and Publisher Sara Wyant, Marshall also commented on trade deals, farm bill prospects, and the need for year-round E15. “Anyone that cares about agriculture, that should be the number one ask of the White House right now is to support a year-round E15 bill,” said Marshall. “And it’ll pass if the president just says go.”
