The National Farmers Union Fall Legislative Fly-In is next week and provides a chance for the organization to advocate for farmers and ranchers in Washington D.C. NFU President Roger Johnson says one of the most prevalent issues facing the farm sector is the economic crisis.

Johnson says it’s important for Congress to understand which policies and programs are working for their rural constituents and where improvements to the farm safety net are needed…

NFU members will also be discussing key issues that may come up this fall, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Renewable Fuels Standard, and corporate consolidation in agriculture.

National Farmers Union members will be in Washington, D.C., September 11-14.
