John F. Kennedy said, “The farmer is the only businessman in our economy who buys everything retail, sells everything wholesale and pays the freight both ways.”
Many farmers and ranchers still hold that unenviable position while managing multiple risks, from weather and geopolitics, to costly regulations and shifting consumer demand.

– Zippy Duvall, President, American Farm Bureau Federation
