Kansas Republican Senator
Jerry Moran headlined a weekend discussion at the American Farm Bureau national
convention titled “What’s the latest on the upcoming Farm Bill?” Moran said it
was a great opportunity to speak before Farm Bureau members regarding the
upcoming farm bill, the farm safety net, and the importance of protecting the
rural way of life across America. “I’ve heard not only from Kansas producers
but also growers across the country, how important it is that Congress work in
a bipartisan fashion to get a farm bill and a disaster relief bill to the
President’s desk as quickly as possible,” he says. The conference also allowed
extensive discussion on the importance of trade to agriculture. “Our nation’s
farmers and ranchers earn their living through ag exports and trade,” Moran
says, “and I will continue to insist the administration remembers the
importance that agricultural trade plays in the economy.” Moran urged the farm
bureau members to continue to convey the importance of trade to both Secretary
Perdue and President Trump in the months ahead.
