American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on the election of Sen. Amy Klobuchar to be the next ranking member of the Senate Agriculture Committee.
“Farm Bureau congratulates Sen. Amy Klobuchar on her new role as ranking member of the Senate Agriculture Committee. She understands the importance of American agriculture and is dedicated to listening to the needs of farmers and ranchers, not just in her state, but across the country.
“She’s demonstrated a willingness to reach across the aisle, and that type of bipartisan leadership will be needed to pass the next farm bill. Sen. Klobuchar also has a close working relationship with farmers and Farm Bureau leaders in Minnesota, and she takes the time to truly understand constituents’ concerns. We look forward to working with her and all members of the Senate Agriculture Committee to address the many challenges facing farmers and ranchers today, including passing a modernized farm bill that provides risk management support, investments in conservation, and advancements in research and education.”
