Legislative, Congress

In late September, the American Feed Industry Association held its fall committee fly-in, where AFIA members advocated for key policy priorities impacting the animal food industry on Capitol Hill.   

The committee members met with over 40 U.S. Senate and House offices, advocating for the Innovative Feed Enhancement and Economic Development Act (Innovative FEED) Act (S. 1842/H.R. 6687), Enteric Methane Innovation Tools for Lower Emissions and Sustainable Stock Act (EMIT LESS) Act (S. 4056/ H.R. 8676) and the Securing American Agriculture Act (H.R. 8003/ S. 5277)
