Farmers are eager to get a new five-year Farm Bill on the books. A group of female agri-leaders took their issues to Washington DC, looking for answers.
“As farmers, we get so frustrated because it feels like Congress is broken, right? And every time we have an Administration, depending on who’s coming in or going out, it just feels like this huge pendulum swing, so I think, at some point, our country just really needs to level that out a little, and hopefully that’s going to happen now. We’re hoping that a Farm Bill gets done. It needs to be done sooner rather than later because we need the certainty in agriculture to know how to move forward with our crops,” said Rose Tryon with American Agri-Women.
Aside from the Farm Bill, Tryon says labor was another hot topic during the trip. The group was able to secure a meeting with Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer. They also discussed fixes for the H-2A program and ways to bring more legal workers to U.S. farms.
