NAT'L FARMERS UNION CRITICAL OF HOUSE'S AG BILL
May 16, 2025
Source: National Farmers Union news release
WASHINGTON - National Farmers Union (NFU) President Rob Larew released the following statement in response to the House Agriculture Committee's passage of budget reconciliation instructions:
"We appreciate that the House Agriculture Committee recognizes the financial pressures facing family farmers and ranchers. Proposals to strengthen crop insurance, bolster the farm safety net, and maintain voluntary conservation programs are important steps toward securing the future of our food system.
But this is not the best way to produce a meaningful farm bill. Our members know that the process matters. Pitting farm and nutrition priorities against one another creates unnecessary division and weakens the broader effort. A strong farm bill--however it comes together--must reflect the full scope of challenges facing agriculture and rural communities, and it must work for everyone it touches: farmers, ranchers, and families across the country."
