National Farmers Union delegates might tighten up the rules on who can be a national delegate.
During their national convention’s opening session Monday, North Dakota’s President Mark Watney proposed a bylaw change that would restrict non-farmers. “It states each delegate and alternate selected in accordance with section law shall be a member in good standing and shall have been or be now actively engaged in farming or ranching.”
The proposed change would use USDA’s definition of a farmer.
