Today’s guest is Tom Sell, co-founder and principal of Combest Sell & Associates and newly elected representative for Texas’ 19th Congressional District. Sell previously worked for former House Agriculture Committee Chairman Larry Combest and served on the House Agriculture Committee staff.
In an interview recorded before Election Day, Sell discusses the opportunity to finish the overdue Farm Bill during the lame-duck session, the need for certainty across farm programs and crop insurance, pressure from sticky production costs, federal spending and the experience he hopes to bring to Congress representing one of the nation’s most important agricultural districts.
