The president of American Farm Bureau says he’s talked with the head of the Biden administration’s ag transition team about the importance of trade for farmers and how that will affect the need for more government aid. Zippy Duvall says he told Robert Bonnie they understand it’s not realistic to expect the same large amounts of government aid for farmers next year – and the importance of carrying on negotiations at the trade table…
“Because we definitely see from the Phase One China agreement and all the purchases that China has made what a positive influence it’s had on commodity prices for the last couple of months.”
Duvall tells Brownfield Ag News farmers would always rather have trade instead of aid.
