National Farmers Union wants the 2023 Farm Bill to address the lack of competition in the industry.
Communications Director Ross Hettervig says NFU members are calling for a title that promotes competition in the marketplace.
“For us that means providing more transparency in markets, pushing back against some of the anticompetitive monopolistic practices going on in a lot of areas of the ag economy, and providing a better footing for small family farmers and ranchers to keep their businesses operating,” he says.
