At the recent American Farm Bureau Federation’s 2025 Convention, delegates from across the nation voted on several critical issues to establish the federation's policy priorities for the year.
Top priorities included promoting the use of domestic feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel, stabilizing agricultural labor wages, and supporting the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) review process.
The convention emphasized the importance of grassroots processes, beginning locally and moving up through state levels to national discussions. This approach ensures that the policies reflect the real needs and challenges faced by the family-run farms that dominate the U.S. agricultural landscape.
With a significant representation of family farmers among the delegates, the federation reaffirms its commitment to a diverse agricultural sector.
The focus on sustainable practices, labor stability, and fair trade agreements highlights the federation's proactive stance in tackling pressing issues that impact farmers directly.
The next convention is scheduled for Anaheim in 2026, promising more discussions and insights into the future of agriculture. For ongoing updates and detailed information, stakeholders are encouraged to visit the federation's website.
