The 122nd National Farmers Union Convention is underway in Scottsdale, Arizona, and National Farmers Union President Rob Larew does not want farmers to be discouraged about continuing to advocate for the next farm bill. During the State of the Farmers Union Address, Larew encouraged members to stay engaged with lawmakers in D.C. “Even when there is a middle ground, unfortunately, there’s a small group of members that are blocking that,” Larew said. “If farmers speak up, we can make the difference so that those that can find a middle ground can get a farm bill wrapped up and through the halls of Congress.” The farm bill outlook is as bleak as Larew has ever seen before, but he says NFU continues to hope senior leadership will find a way to get the legislation through.
