NFU Recognizes Family Farmers, Ranchers on National Ag Day

 National Farmers Union (NFU) is joining the American agriculture community today to celebrate National Ag Day.   

“Family farmers and ranchers work hard to feed, fuel, and clothe our nation and world,” said NFU President Rob Larew. “We honor the commitment they bring to their farms, families, and communities.” 

“Today – and every day – Farmers Union members are working to ensure future generations of family farmers and ranchers will be able to thrive. Too often farmers and ranchers face inflated costs of seed and fertilizer or low prices for their products because the market is dominated by monopolies. This is unfair for farmers and ranchers but also consumers who end up paying more for food. We must do better,” Larew added.
