Larew emphasizes, "The safety net established in the 2018 Farm Bill will not be sufficient to help farmers withstand rapidly declining crop prices, high interest rates, and natural disasters."
NFU advocates for rigorous enforcement of antitrust laws to foster competitive markets, which are vital for the health of the agricultural sector. The union also stresses the importance of measured trade policies to prevent adverse effects on farmers' livelihoods and the broader economy.
NFU’s letter also touches on the need for a fair tax code, right-to-repair laws, and accessible healthcare for rural communities, as well as ensuring a stable workforce for agriculture.
These initiatives are aimed at creating a resilient agricultural system that can support family farms and contribute to their communities' prosperity under government presidency.
