WASHINGTON, D.C. – American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented on the passing of former President Jimmy Carter. 

“Farm Bureau joins the nation in remembering President Jimmy Carter. From his humble start on a small farm in Georgia to his election to the nation’s highest office, his life is a testament to the potential within every American. 

“We appreciate the perspective his rural roots brought to the White House and his post-presidential work to fight food insecurity and teach modern farming practices to developing countries. We express our condolences to his family, while celebrating the life of a man dedicated to public service.”
