National Farmers Union President says the ag economy needs some type of certainty

“We just want to make sure a Farm Bill doesn’t fall off the radar screen.”

National Farmers Union President Rob Larew spoke with RFD-TV’s own Suzanne Alexander on the 2025 Farm Bill, trade policies’ effect on farm incomes, and the Packers and Stockyards Act.
