(Wisconsin Ag Connection) -U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin announced that grain and dairy farmer Les Danielson from Cadott will join her for President Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday.Danielson has been farming for 30 years in northwest Wisconsin and is a member of the Wisconsin Farmer's Union. Baldwin says Les has been critical of the president's trade wars and says he hopes the speech will outline a clear plan to get the job done for farmers like himself. "Wisconsin farmers are a key driver of our agriculture economy and the backbone of our rural communities, but right now our farmers are facing a perfect storm of challenges that have threatened their businesses and our communities," Baldwin said.
“I’m grateful to Senator Baldwin for inviting me to attend the State of the Union and for her work supporting Wisconsin family farmers during these challenging times,” said Danielson. “I’m tired of the broken promises from President Trump. Farmers in Wisconsin are facing some really tough market conditions and President Trump’s trade wars have only made things worse. During his address on Tuesday, I hope he will move past empty promises and outline a clear plan to get the job done for farmers like me.”
