As we gear up for a new administration and a new makeup in Congress, agriculture groups watch closely. The people advocating on the hill for agriculture policy are charged with building new relationships and crafting the message they hope will resonate with lawmakers and President Trump’s cabinet leaders. Ethan Lane is among them. He’s the vice president of government affairs with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. He says even though the inauguration isn't until Jan. 20, the work is happening now. He says it starts with the current lame-duck session, which he says is an opportunity to tie a bow around the Farm Bill. Ethan also addresses the "make America healthy again" rhetoric from Department of Health and Human Services Secretary choice Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
