SALT LAKE CITY — American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall on Sunday urged members at the group’s annual convention here to lobby hard for Congress to pass a farm bill in 2024.
“Thankfully, we achieved a farm bill extension,” Duvall said. “But, we need to get even louder. Now, I know we need to get through the budget process, but we also need to tell Congress it’s urgent to pass a new, modernized farm bill.”
Duvall said members could stop by the Farm Bureau booth on the convention trade show floor and pick up a postcard and scan a code to call for action.
This is just the first step in our 2024 grassroots advocacy efforts on farm bill,” Duvall said. “I’m asking you to send a resounding message to Congress to deliver a new farm bill for our farms and our country. The road to a new farm bill has become longer than any of us would have liked, but together we can see it through.”
