NFU’s government relations office serves as our members’ direct link to Congress, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other key administration agencies. While NFU policy is driven from the grassroots level, the government relations staff takes the organization’s priorities directly to the nation’s key decision-makers. The office advocates policy positions, promotes legislation, responds to proposed rules and regulations, and brings matters to the attention of top officials through regular meetings, letters, issue briefings and other means.
