NAWG Statement on 2024 Presidential Election

Washington, D.C. (November 6, 2024) - Following the call of the 2024 presidential election by the Associated Press in favor of Donald Trump as president-elect, NAWG President Keeff Felty provided the following statement:

"Congratulations to President-elect Trump and the incoming members of the 119th Congress. American agriculture faces many challenges, and we look forward to working with the House and Senate leadership and the new Senate Agriculture Committee Chair and Ranking Member in a bipartisan manner to support our farmers."

"However, there is work yet to be done this year. Wheat growers are seeking action during the lame duck to enact a farm bill and economic assistance by the end of the year that supports growers as we continue to face increased input costs, depressed prices, and weather-related disasters. It is critical that we continue to advance those policy initiatives immediately and work with everyone in the 119^th Congress to foster public policy initiatives that help our farmers and rural communities thrive."
