Two special orders of business have been adopted by North Dakota Farmers Union members. The first calls on Congress and the Administration to ensure future ad hoc payments and account for the impacts of trade wars on all commodities, as well as basis costs. Secondly, NDFU is asking to strengthen antitrust laws, reverse the trend of agribusiness consolidation and protect farmers and ranchers from the abuses of market power. More than 600 members attended the NDFU annual convention this past weekend in Bismarck.
