Forty South Dakota Farmers Union members are among 400 attending the National Farmers Union’s Fly In in Washington DC this week. President Doug Sombke says their board passed some resolutions including support for USMCA if changes are made, help for skyrocketing drug prices, addressing the ag labor shortage and opposition to further mega ag company mergers.

He says they had a chance to meet with the USDA and told them how much economic devastation farmers are experiencing and their need to do something to help them.

Sombke is calling on all farmers and ranchers to let Congress and the Administration know they need help in order to survive.

The Fly In began Monday and wraps up later today.
