President Donald Trump spoke with Agri-Pulse before his speech at the American Farm Bureau Federation's 99th annual convention in Nashville Monday, and we asked him questions that many farmers and ranchers have on their minds.
Trump sought to offer assurances on trade, the farm bill, crop insurance, and more in our interview.
Asked about the “take home” message he wanted farmers to have as a result of his speech, he said, “Keep your optimism up. We are really working hard for the farmer.”
Trump said, “farm prices have really been moving down rapidly over the last four years” and “we’d like to see prices go up so that you can do a bit better.”
