Biden is expected to release his full budget proposal on Friday.

Hot ticket items: MA readers might remember the skinny budget released in April included a 16 percent increase to USDA’s discretionary budget.

That request mirrored many of the rural priorities included in his infrastructure blueprint, like broadband access and helping rural communities move to cleaner energy sources. It also would expand funding for USDA research and education programs, wildfire prevention and nutritional assistance programs.

Coming up: This budget will be the first big look at Biden’s agriculture priorities and is expected to detail his requests for mandatory spending, a tax overhaul, infrastructure investment and job creation.
