The Nebraska Farm Bureau has issued a heartfelt statement following the retirement announcement of U.S. Representative Don Bacon. Known for his unwavering commitment to Nebraska’s agriculture sector, Congressman Bacon has been a strong voice on behalf of the state’s farm and ranch families.
“Congressman Bacon has proven throughout his career in Congress to be a man of faith, a leader with integrity, and a steadfast supporter of Nebraska’s farm and ranch families. His service on the House Agriculture Committee has provided a valuable voice for Nebraska’s farmers and ranchers on multiple farm bills and a multitude of issues that impact our nation’s food, fuel, and fiber supply.
While we certainly greeted the congressman’s retirement announcement with mixed feelings, we want to wish Don and Angie the best as they embark on this next adventure. The lives of all Nebraskans have been made better due to Congressman Bacon and his tireless work fighting on our behalf. Congratulations, may God continue to bless you, and thank you for your lifetime of selfless service.”
The Nebraska Farm Bureau, grassroots, statewide organization, stands behind Nebraska’s agricultural families through education, service, and advocacy. With over 56,000 member families, the organization works to advance prosperity for both rural and urban communities by supporting agriculture, a critical part of the state’s economy.
Bacon’s service on the House Agriculture Committee was particularly impactful in shaping and supporting farm bills that directly affect America’s agricultural supply chain. His retirement marks the end of a career dedicated to serving Nebraskans through a strong policy voice and deep commitment to the values of rural communities.
