National Farmers Union President Rob Larew is happy with Minnesota Representative Angie Craig’s pick as the House Ag Committee’s lead Democrat. “Great news for farmers and ranchers, I would argue not only in Minnesota, but for the Upper Midwest and the Northern Plains,” said Larew. “She is somebody who has a track record of working across the aisle working on the issues that farmers and ranchers want and not just going for one party or the other. Quite frankly we need a lot more of that in Congress.” Larew also praised Craig’s experience, saying it makes her a perfect fit for the role. “I think she will work pretty early to seek as much common ground as possible with the current chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, GT Thompson and ultimately I hope that that translates into a five-year farm bill hopefully sooner rather than later in 2025.”
