Our Food & Agriculture Team
Food and agriculture policy is sprawling, and the stakes are high. Farm bills, nutrition programs, trade agreements, climate legislation, and regulatory guidance from multiple agencies all converge on the same industries and communities. Getting results requires more than knowing the policy. It requires relationships built over years with the people who write, pass, and implement it.
Led by T.A. Hawks, this dynamic team brings experience from and deep relationships in:
- Department of Agriculture
- Key Congressional Committees
- House and Senate Leadership
- White House
- Department of Transportation
- U.S. Trade Representative
- Environmental Protection Agency
- Department of Homeland Security

Six members are leaving Senate Agriculture. The House side turns over too, with Craig gone and Thompson needing a waiver to keep his gavel. Boozman could be the only one of the Big Four still at the table in 2027, and it lands right as the farm bill is up for debate between House and Senate.
What each outcome means, who’s lining up for the open slots, and why the lame duck could go either way.
