Washington, DC — (RI) — An eastern Iowa farmer was in Washington this week to tell congress farmers need action from the federal government.
Dave Walton of Wilton testified at a hearing in a U.S. House committee.
Walton says more farmers are finding it difficult to get credit.
The U.S. Commerce Department recently reported farm income fell 12 billion dollars in the first three months of this year.
Walton is secretary of the Iowa Soybean Association’s board of directors. His family started farming in Cedar County in 1835.
