NFU says covid stimulus package is must-pass legislation

National Farmers Union President Rob Larew says it’s disappointing that President Trump said he will delay considerations on another stimulus package until after the election.   

“There is still a huge need out there…so the decision to step away from the negotiations is really mystifying because it has been now several months since we’ve had another stimulus bill pass,” he says.

Trump has since said that he would consider some standalone bills. Larew says it’s unclear what this could mean for the industry.

“So we don’t have a really good sense yet of exactly what he means by that, but we’re glad there’s at least some engagement and some recognition that there are needs that have to be addressed right now,” he says

He tells Brownfield another stimulus package is must-pass legislation and NFU remains hopeful that Congress can reach a deal.
