Energy Feed International Lobbies on Agriculture and Tariffs

Why It Matters

Energy Feed International filed a lobbying registration with Connect Strategy LLC on Oct. 26, covering Agriculture (AGR), Animals (ANI), Chemicals/Chemical Industry (CHM), and Tariff Bills (TAR). The client has no earlier federal lobbying filings on record, making this its first registration. The sole lobbyist is Mary Cull, a Partner at Connect Strategy LLC, and has six total filings on record. ​

Broader Context

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced guidance in January 2025 for an Animal Food Ingredient Consultation process, establishing a route for firms to consult with FDA about animal-food ingredients and an enforcement policy for certain ingredients reviewed through that process, according to the Federal Register. The Innovative FEED Act of 2025, introduced May 22, 2025, would establish a regulatory category and approval provisions for certain "zootechnical animal food substances"; the bill was referred to the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee, according to Congress.gov.

Between The Lines

Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) posted on May 27 promoting legislation to permanently transfer the Food for Peace program to USDA, citing market certainty for producers. Sen. Todd Young (R-IN) highlighted the Environmental Protection Agency's Waters of the United States rule on Nov. 18, 2025, saying it provides regulatory certainty for farmers, manufacturers, and energy producers.
