The Senate Ag Committee will get back to work on several important policy areas to start 2022. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says one priority will be a hearing on cattle market reform.

He says the ag committee also needs to address the headwinds to growth experienced by the biofuels industry.

And Grassley says high on his agenda will be pushing the current administration to start of new trade negotiations around the globe.

Congress allowed Trade Promotion Authority for the President to expire and that will need to be addressed before entering into any trade talks.
