Obama brings new test for agribusiness

摘要

AGRIBUSINESS groups need to change how they approach legislative lobbying and public affairs in the Obama Administration, according to Scott Shearer, a principle in the Washington, D.C., government affairs consulting firm Bockorny Group. For one reason, the White House will be far more active in initiating legislation than the Bush Administration was, he said, which means public affairs need to begin inside the Administration, where a collection of advisers, or "czars," will launch policies and regulations.
