Farming groups warm to emissions cuts just in time for Biden

Farming groups, long hostile to policies that curb emissions, are seeking a spot at the table, rather than be on the menu, as President-elect Joe Biden eyes deep greenhouse gas cuts across the economy.

Last month, for the first time, major farm lobbying groups in Washington, D.C., including the largely Republican and fierce regulation opponent American Farm Bureau Federation, joined with environmental groups, forestry groups, and state agriculture officials to unveil recommendations for policies to combat climate change. The coalition dubbed itself the Food and Agriculture Climate Alliance.
