2024 will be an important year for America's farmers and ranchers. Micheal Clements tells us the American Farm Bureau Federation is focused on the passage of a new farm bill. Clements: The American Farm Bureau Federation has a myriad of policy priorities for the new year. AFBF President Zippy Duvall says the top priority is getting a Farm Bill passed in 2024. Duvall: Well, it's critical that Congress pass a bipartisan farm bill early this year. We can't afford any further delays in getting an updated farm bill that would address our modern challenges facing our farmers and ranchers across America. The Farm Bill matters well beyond the farm. It addresses food security, sustainability to nutrition programs, and all of these programs benefit the nation as a whole. Clements: AFBF will host the American Farm Bureau Convention January 19-24 in Salt Lake City, where other 2024 priorities will be established. Duvall: The priorities will be determined by our voting delegates later this month at our annual convention in Salt Lake City, but we will continue to work with Congress to address the labor challenges facing our farmers. We have a labor shortage and unsustainable wage rate hikes that really are the biggest limiting factor to the growth of American agriculture. We also need to create new and expand the current trade agreements, and we have resolved to keep defending farms and ranches from the burdensome overreach of regulations from our federal government. Clements: Duvall says there's still time to plan your trip to attend Farm Bureau's annual convention. Duvall: At this convention, it'll give them a great opportunity to hear from inspirational speakers, fellowship with other Farm Bureau members, and even become a new member of our organization. We have a great story to share about agriculture and that story will be on full display at Salt Lake City. Clements: To learn more and to register for the American Farm Bureau Convention, go to fb.org. Micheal Clements, Washington.

A new campaign launched this week promotes the importance of the farm bill to all Americans. Micheal Clements shares more on the diverse group of organizations coming together to share the farm bill message. Clements: The American Farm Bureau Federation led the creation of Farm Bill for America's Families, a campaign to highlight the broad reach of the farm bill. AFBF President Zippy Duvall says the high-level campaign includes several messages to Congress. Duvall: We want to see a 2023 Farm Bill before the end of the year and ensure that it [Congress] has enough resources to write a meaningful farm bill, including strong risk management programs. We want to promote food security by ensuring a strong food supply, and also by supporting nutrition programs for those facing hunger. And we want to support job creation. The farm bill is a jobs bill. And we want to invest in ag research and conservation. Clements: More than 20 diverse farm and agriculture, environmental and conservation organizations are included in the effort. Duvall: The farm bill impacts every American, yet 70 percent say that they know very little about it. That's why AFBF took the lead to build a diverse coalition of environmental and conservation advocates, food security and anti-hunger advocates, foresters, and ag groups. We are all working together to leverage our diverse membership to help tell the story of the importance of the farm bill. Clements: Duvall encourages other groups to join the campaign. Duvall: We welcome and encourage others to join us, from our state Farm Bureaus to other commodity groups, to food banks and environmental groups that recognize the importance of the Farm Bill. Everyone can join us by visiting the website FarmBillForAmericasFamilies.com. Clements: Again, visit FarmBillForAmericasFamilies.com to learn more. Micheal Clements, Washington.
