President Joe Biden signed into law the Ocean Shipping Reform Act and was applauded by the American Farm Bureau Federation.  AFBF President Zippy Duvall attended the signing ceremony at the White House and says the Biden administration worked with Farm Bureau to support passage of the bill.  Duvall says the legislation addresses supply chain obstacles.  Duvall says the ongoing supply chain issues and record-high shipping costs have limited agriculture exports at a time when trading partners need the U-S more than ever.  The Ocean Shipping Reform Act was sponsored by South Dakota Senator John Thune and South Dakota Congressman Dusty Johnson.
