NFU Delegates Approve Special Orders

National Farmers Union delegates finalized their policy priorities for the year ahead. NFU President Rob Larew said a solid farm bill is at the top of that list. A special order was also passed reinforcing its Fairness for Farmers effort. That includes mandatory country-of-origin labeling, the right-to-repair, and the elimination of monopolies in food and agriculture. Larew said farmers also need certainty. “With tariffs being put on and sometimes reduced and added back on, that constant of back-and-forth the need for our federal government to show us the game plan,” said Larew. “Right now there’s really a limited amount of information. With the farm economy the way it is right now, that’s just adding to anxiety”.
