Associated Press: The Farm Bill Recognizes Challenges of Farmers

The Associated Press quoted American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall’s statement on the House passage of the farm bill in a recent article. “The Republican-led House narrowly passed a sweeping farm bill Thursday…The bill passed by a vote of 213-211,” noted AP.

With farm income at a decade low, Duvall “called passage of the House bill “a big win for farmers.” Duvall told AP the bill “recognized the serious economic challenges facing farmers and ranchers across the country.”
