(NAFB.com) – The National Farmers Union concluded its Week of Action, which gathered more than 100 farmers from across the country to the halls of Congress and spurred local action from hundreds of farmers and ranchers in their home states. Farmers Union members shared one message: farmers across the country are facing the perfect storm of volatile markets, rising input costs, shrinking federal support, and mounting trade tensions, all with no new farm bill in sight. “We are so deeply indebted to over 100 farm families who have taken time from what is the busiest time of year for many farmers and ranchers to travel here, deliver the news themselves, and tell their stories about why action is so necessary right now,” said NFU President Rob Larew. NFU members strongly pushed for a farm bill that strengthens the farm safety net, builds upon voluntary conservation programs, and fosters fairness in the marketplace.”
