National Farmers Union announced a farm bill campaign that seeks to educate the public and to generate support for a farm bill to be passed this year.
The campaign includes a new website, videos, weekly promotions and a petition.
As Congress prepares for farm bill talks, NFU President Roger Johnson says, “Farmers Union wants to be sure all members of Congress understand why the farm bill is so vital to family farm agriculture, our land, our rural communities, and our nation’s most vulnerable citizens.”
The campaign features a nine-minute video on the importance of the farm bill to family farmers, the environment and consumers, profiling Farmers Union members from across the country.
NFU is also encouraging farmers and consumers alike to share the video on social media with the hashtag #FarmBillNow.
