In Anaheim, California this week, agriculture policy and trade expert Jim Wiesemeyer spoke at the Ag Issues Forum sponsored by Bayer CropScience.  Wiesemeyer, senior vice president for policy and trade issues with Informa Economics,  has covered Washington for 32 years. He shares his insights through his company’s daily Morning Comments, the ProFarmer newsletter and his Inside Washington Today column on Agweb.com

I asked Wiesemeyer about his advice to farmers regarding the outlook for their industry for 2010 and beyond. In this video, Wiesemeyer shares his thoughts on the growth opportunities and the challenges for US farm producers.
