National Farmers Union president Rob Larew says he’s encouraged as talks continue on another round of COVID relief.
“Even if the talks aren’t occurring directly between the kind of principle leaders of both the House and Senate, this bipartisan group that is formulating an alternative package I think is good news.”
He’s referring to a group of senators who have been negotiating a compromise stimulus package for several weeks.
Larew tells Brownfield the latest proposal includes $13 billion for agriculture.
