American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall addressed his members Sunday, thanking them for taking such an active role in farm policy. “We’ve got to build on that because we’re going to need everybody stepping up in 2025,” said Duvall from the AFBF stage. “While we appreciate Congress an extension, we are not going to let up. Despite lawmakers kicking the (farm bill) can down the road and making political excuses.” Duvall went on to speak about the need for ag labor reform and a science-based regulatory system. During his speech, Duvall was interrupted twice by what appeared to be animal rights protesters. Duvall enlisted the support of the AFBF members and their applause drowned out the activist’s chant. “That’s our Farm Bureau family, no one cares more than we do.”
