Following the announcement of Donald Trump as president-elect by the Associated Press, National Farmers Union (NFU) President Rob Larew issued a statement congratulating him. Larew emphasized the significance of this transition for agriculture and rural America.

"On behalf of National Farmers Union, I offer my congratulations to President-elect Trump," said Larew. He highlighted the challenges facing family farmers and ranchers, including rising input costs, severe weather disasters, and the lack of a renewed five-year Farm Bill. Larew noted both "urgency and opportunity" in addressing these issues with long-term solutions.

Larew expressed NFU's commitment to working with the new administration to support family farmers and ranchers. "We share a commitment to meaningful progress for agriculture and rural America," he stated. NFU represents over 230,000 family farmers and ranchers across the nation.

The organization aims to collaborate with Trump's administration to ensure fair markets, sustainability, and economic vitality in rural communities. "We stand ready to work with the incoming administration to build a future where agriculture can thrive," concluded Larew.
