(NAFB.com) – Earlier this week, the National Farmers Union concluded its 124th Anniversary Convention after the assembled delegates voted to finalize NFU’s 2026 policy priorities. The NFU welcomed over 500 family farmers, ranchers, and supporters to New Orleans, Louisiana, for the three-day event. “The challenges facing family farmers and ranchers continue to grow more complex,” said NFU President Rob Larew. “But through it all, Farmers Union continues to do something Washington too often struggles to achieve, which is bringing people with diverse viewpoints together, working through tough issues, and emerging with solutions they built collectively.” He also said that unity is the greatest strength of the organization. The finalized policy priorities approved by NFU delegates include three special orders of business on timely topics, including Family Farmers, the Farm Crisis, and the Future of Food and Farm Policy. NFU also announced Farmers Union Next Generation, designed to serve young, beginning, and early-career farmers.
