NAWG Statement on Congress Passing Economic Assistance for Farmers

Washington, D.C. (December 21, 2024) – Today, Chandler Goule, CEO of the National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG), provided the following statement in response to Congress passing the American Relief Act of 2025:

“NAWG applauds members of both the House of Representatives and Senate for coming together to provide much-needed economic assistance and disaster relief for farmers nationwide. While this legislation also includes a one-year farm bill extension and short-term relief, it is not a replacement for a long-term farm bill. As we enter the 119th Congress, NAWG urges lawmakers to work quickly to pass a farm bill that strengthens the farm safety net and provides long-term certainty for producers and rural America.”
