‘The 99 percent’ need to know
Minnesota Farmers Union President Doug Peterson confirms that Farmers Union members in his state believe, as do many others, that a farm bill needs to be passed. Reacting to the statement from National Farmers Union President Roger Johnson that farmers need to speak with a louder voice in order to heard, Peterson agrees. “We’re only one percent,” Peterson told Brownfield Ag News in Springfield, Mass. “Ninety-nine percent of the population need to have a message from all farmers and ranchers in this country that a five-year farm bill does not cost you money; a five-year farm bill assures national security in food.”
