The year leading up to an election, and the first year after an election, tend to bring market volatility. Leaders must consider the multiple scenarios that could unfold after this election cycle and strategize to maintain success no matter the policy agenda.
The impacts of the upcoming election and Congressional makeup are amplified by the major pieces of legislation that are on the docket in 2025 – a budget bill, a tax bill and the Farm Bill. Individually, each has the potential to impact ag business and producers significantly. Layer in trade agendas, renewable fuel policy and the current state of the ag economy, the agri-food industry can expect to experience some unprecedented pressures - and associated opportunities.
The Directions Group (formerly Aimpoint Research) analysts have completed a study and report intended to help agribusinesses and producers identify where positive returns can be earned no matter who controls the White House or Congress.
