American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall announced AFBF’s priorities Thursday for the upcoming farm bill renewal.  The priorities include maintaining farm bill program funding.  AFBF’s key priorities include keeping nutrition and farm programs together and supporting risk management tools.  Duvall says the challenge ahead will be to make sure every member of Congress understands the importance of the legislation.  Farm Bureau delegates will consider and give final approval to the priorities during the 2023 Farm Bureau Convention, in Puerto Rico.
