Senator Amy Klobuchar delivered opening remarks at a Senate Agriculture Committee hearing on four nominees for USDA’s trade and foreign agricultural affairs post and the Farm Credit Administration Board. She called for continued work on a bipartisan Farm Bill and highlighted Democratic priorities concerning SNAP cost shifts to states.

Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
