National Farmers Union President Rob Larew has issued a statement urging Congress to prioritize the passage of a comprehensive five-year Farm Bill. According to Larew, "Our priority for family farmers and ranchers remains steadfast: Congress must pass a strong, comprehensive five-year Farm Bill before year’s end."
Larew emphasized the importance of the Farm Bill in providing "certainty and stability" for farmers. He highlighted key components such as a strengthened safety net, disaster assistance, investments in conservation, and measures to enhance competitiveness among farmers.
While acknowledging the efforts made by the House and Senate Agriculture Committees, Larew called on leaders in both chambers to make passing the Farm Bill their top priority before the year concludes.
