US - National Farmers Union (NFU) President Roger Johnson has applauded President Obama’s leadership on climate change, tax reform and reopening trade with Cuba, while encouraging the president to reconsider his support for trade agreements that export US jobs and add to US deficits.
“Clearly, climate change is happening right before our very eyes, increasing the occurrence and severity of volatile weather events, requiring better risk management tools for farmers today and legislative action by the federal government to address this issue,” said Mr Johnson.“Farmers are in a position to help mitigate many aspects of climate change.”Mr Johnson also applauded the president’s vow to revisit the tax code, making it more fair for all and easier to understand.

“很明显，气候变化正在我们的眼前发生，持续增加的不稳定的天气事件的发生和严重程度,要求农场主目前有更好的风险管理工具，及联邦政府为了解决这个问题而采取的立法行动，”约翰逊说。“农场主能够在许多方面帮助减轻气候变化。”约翰逊先生还赞扬总统承诺要重新审视税收代码，使其更公平和更容易理解。
