As the House of Representatives investigates the Justice Department for alleged politicization, the agency’s internal watchdog has expanded its telework policy.
I am grateful to serve as president of the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union (RMFU), whose mission of education includes assuring consumers can make fair choices on where their food products are grown or raised.
In this role, I represent over 15,000 family farmers and ranchers from Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico. Our member-led policy makes it exceptionally clear we support clear and transparent labeling within our food supply.
When shopping for their families, consumers expect an easy and accurate way to determine where their food comes from.
