Rural America is dependent on a strong farm economy. Shelly Ziesch is a member of the North Dakota Farmers Union board of directors and said the farm bill must address these ‘big picture’ issues. “We’re losing a lot of farmers and ranchers either to lack of income or to retirement and who’s gonna fill those shoes?” asked Ziesch. “We have an aging population in our farming and ranching communities; we need to help get the young people started so we don’t lose that generation of farmers and ranchers.”
