Biden Administration Praises American Agriculture at Farm Bureau Convention

Farm Bureau members met this week in Atlanta, GA, for the American Farm Bureau Federation's annual convention. Now, in addition to informative workshops and setting policy for the Organization for the coming year, this year's attendees also heard from informative speakers, which this year included a video address by President Biden on the importance of America's farmers and ranchers.

"You folks are the backbone of this nation", said Biden. "As the saying goes, you may need a doctor or an electrician once in a while, but you need a farmer three times a day. That's why in July, I signed an executive order to promote competition and help level the playing field for family farmers and ranchers."

Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall said as the nation's largest general farm organization, policy success is found by working together.

"Your Farm Bureau has had your bag for over a hundred and two year history" said Duvall. "Farm Bureau has become the leader it is today by adapting and working with every administration and every Congress."

When it comes to America's most essential industry, there's never a lack of issues impacting agriculture.
