> A Minnesota county commissioner is urging Congress to resolve SNAP cost-sharing disputes in the farm bill and to delay higher federal costs that strain rural county budgets. USDA is also proposing its first major grazing rule revision since 1977 and opening 165 vacant allotments to applications, with a goal of adding 500,000 animal unit months of grazing capacity by 2028.

## Why it matters

The USDA grazing proposal could expand pasture capacity for cattle over time, which would modestly ease forage demand pressure on hay and feed. The SNAP cost dispute is a budget matter with little direct effect on feed commodity supply or prices.
