At the National Farmers Union Convention, President Rob Larew is calling on Congress to pass a strong farm bill without delay. He warns that if lawmakers keep pushing it aside, farmers could be left without the support they need. “The biggest fear right now is that this is going to fall off the radar screen once again, and we will end up getting into fall and this thing be kicked down the road yet again. Farm country cannot afford that.” Larew also raised concerns about tariffs and their impact on farmers, saying they create instability in the market. “We don’t have the same resources that we had the last time, and I don’t know a farmer out there that wants to rely on those kinds of payments. We want to get our return from the marketplace.”
