Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall Asks Newly Elected Officials to Work to Resolve the Many Problems the Country Faces

Wed, 09 Nov 2016 18:59:27 CST

Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall Asks Newly Elected Officials to Work to Resolve the Many Problems the Country Faces The President of the American Farm Bureau, Zippy Duvall, released the following statement following the General Elections of Tuesday:


"The American Farm Bureau Federation congratulates President-elect Trump on his election, as well as those candidates elected to serve during the 115th Congress. The important issues facing American agriculture are not red or blue, but they are critical to the prosperity of rural America and our ability to protect our nation's food supply. We urge our elected representatives to reach across the aisle and come together to resolve the challenges we face.


"Farmers and ranchers understand that their businesses and their families have too much at stake to take a back seat on Election Day, and rural America clearly made a difference in this election. Now it's time for our newly elected leaders to turn up for rural America and keep their campaign promises by addressing the issues that matter to the people who sent them to Washington. Farm Bureau looks forward to working with the new administration and Congress on issues such as the farm bill, tax reform and a trade agenda focused on reducing barriers and expanding exports.


"America's farmers and ranchers are working overtime to ensure our food supply is safe and sustainable. It's time our elected leaders put that same diligence to work protecting U.S. agriculture by promoting innovation and ensuring we have an adequate workforce. We need regulatory reform that boosts farm businesses rather than shutting them down. Farmers are concerned for the environment and are hopeful that the new administration will recognize agriculture's strides in sustainability and protect our ability to produce.


"Elected officials come to Washington with different perspectives and ideas, but they share a common goal of wanting to make our nation better for all Americans. At Farm Bureau, we will continue to do our part to help identify opportunities for cooperation to improve the lives of rural communities, and all American farmers and ranchers."
