New Windsor Farmer Testifies in Washington, D.C.

From trade wars and flooding to supply chain disruptions due to COVID and a derecho, Midwest farmers have faced a number of challenges in recent years. Jeff Kirwan of New Windsor testified to the obstacles facing Illinois farmers during a U.S. House Agriculture Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities and Risk Management hearing last week.

 

 

A new Farm Bill will be proposed in 2023 and the Illinois Farm Bureau Board member says his testimony served as the early stages of the process. The U.S. House subcommittee is chaired by Western Illinois Congresswoman Cheri Bustos.
