Pierce County’s Daniel Johnson recently joined Georgia Farm Bureau (GFB) leaders on a trip to Washington, D.C., earlier this month, seeking help from Congress. They stressed that U.S. national security is at stake.
“We cannot get into a situation where we’re depending on other nations to provide our food,” said Georgia Farm Bureau President Tom McCall, who led a group of GFB members on the trip. “Unless Congress acts to address farmers’ financial sustainability, that could be where we’re headed. Our farmers are really hurting.”
GFB leaders stressed the United States relies on its farmers for food, clothing, shelter and much more. U.S. farmers’ dependability is envied around the world.
