A top farm organization leader says it is time to “turn the page” on partisan politics.
Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall made the comments during an opening press conference as part of the American Farm Bureau Federation Virtual Annual Convention.
Duvall’s remarks follow last week’s rally and attack on the U.S. capitol.
Duvall says, “we have got to work together, as one country, one people, for the good of all the people in this country.”
Farm Bureau members will develop policy priorities this week for the organization to follow in 2021.
With the incoming Biden administration, top priorities are expected to be climate change, taxes and labor, along with strengthening the farm bill.
Duvall says, “We must make sure that we are at the table for the discussions around addressing climate change,” adding, “I believe agriculture’s great track record shows just how much we can achieve when farmers and ranchers are at the table when we develop solutions.”
