Farm Bureau presidents met this past week in Washington D.C., discussing resolutions ahead of the American Farm Bureau Convention. AFBF Vice-President Scott VanderWal says the cattle markets continue to be a tough issue. “Some people think we need to do something, but we’re not sure what, and others are saying if we mandate a certain level of negotiated trade, we’ll limit opportunities for people to engage in alternative marketing agreements. The discussion continues and those resolutions will appear during our national convention. Delegates will sort out those details at that time.” VanderWal is the president of the South Dakota Farm Bureau and is a rancher. The American Farm Bureau Convention will be held in Atlanta, Georgia on January 7 – 12.
