Farmers Appreciate Focus on Supply Chain Issues

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on President Trump's executive order to boost production of certain crop protection tools.

"AFBF appreciates the administration for affirming that food security is national security. Phosphate fertilizers and effective products reviewed and approved by the EPA enable farmers to protect the health of their crops while using fewer natural resources. A strong domestic supply chain reduces dependence on foreign imports and helps ensure continued access to tools that contribute to the success of farmers who grow the food and fiber America's families rely on."
