Cornerstone Managing Principal Hunt Shipman recently spoke at the 13th annual Mid-South Agricultural and Environmental Law Conference in Memphis, Tennessee. The event was co-hosted by the National Agricultural Law Center and the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture Foundation. Hunt discussed the possibility of a Farm Bill, explaining:
“We have broken, what we call in our office the three-legged stool of conservation, commodities and nutrition. Putting them back together is like trying to get the Hatfields and McCoys to have dinner together.”
He continued on saying, “there is narrative [that asks] that whether the farm safety net is broken because of all these ad hoc programs. We may have created a bigger long-term problem for farmers.”
