American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall said there is new energy in Washington. “Farmers are really excited about the new Congress and new president coming in,” said Duvall. “We’ve got some experience with this administration and he comes back with a renewed energy and is talking our talk. There’s some things that concern us, but he’s always given us a seat at the table and we’re looking forward to taking that seat and making sure we be able to let him hear what the farmers are talking about.” National Council of Farmer Cooperatives President and CEO Chuck Conner expects Congress to get to work right away. “I think this Congres is going to get a lot done and they know they’ve got a relatively small window for that to happen. Probably by year two and three, we’ll be back to a lot of that gridlock”
