Joey Caldwell, senior vice president of retail for GreenPoint Ag, testified in July at the hearing on Financial Conditions in Farm Country. Caldwell was there to express strong support for the 2024 Farm Bill during the hearing that focused on addressing the financial challenges faced by farmers and ranchers.

The Ag Retailers Association assisted in making his testimony possible.
