A lobbyist for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association says Americans are already getting tired of 2020 campaign speeches and commercials, but farmers need to stay active. Ethan Lane tells Brownfield, “I know that it’s frustrating. I know that it gets overwhelming to get kind of inundated by this stuff but boy, the stakes are high, so we need to make sure people stay engaged and pay attention to what those candidates are saying and give them that feedback.”
Lane says it’s important for farmers to keep telling candidates their story early and often, even if campaign fatigue is setting in.
