SAN ANTONIO -- Barak Obama's historic election will bring new faces and ideas in a dramatic transition that will present changes in policies and priorities. American Agri-Women is looking forward to being a part of a process that sifts through and eliminates the chaff and sustains the critical components of federal programs, agency appointments and conservation decisions.
AAW members are eager to work with the new administration on critical food safety and national security issues and pledge to work diligently to help move this country and the U.S. agricultural industry forward.
The agriculture industry is a vital part of the overall economy and President-elect Obama has made it clear that the economic challenges that America is facing are his top priority. The changes AAW seeks to include are a new approach to international trade and more competitive domestic markets with an emphasis on supporting products and goods produced in the U.S.
AAW will do what it can to support programs that will benefit both farmers and consumers.
