Walberg Invites Monroe County Farmer to Attend State of the Union

Today, Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-05) announced that Monroe County farmer Doug Darling will be accompanying him at President Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday. Doug is a 6th-generation row crop farmer in Maybee and was the former director at large of the Michigan Farm Bureau. 

"I am honored to have Doug Darling as my guest and highlight the invaluable role agriculture plays in feeding our families and sustaining our local economy in Michigan," said Rep. Walberg. "Last year, the historic Working Families Tax Cuts were signed into law, delivering vital relief to our nation's hardworking farmers. By cutting taxes for farmers by over $10 billion, protecting family farms from the death tax, and providing stronger risk management tools, we have provided certainty to Michigan farmers to ensure that they can keep producing the world’s safest and most abundant food supply."

"My family and I are grateful for the work Congressman Walberg has done on behalf of Michigan farmers," said Doug Darling. "The Working Families Tax Cuts are making a real, day‑to‑day difference for farmers, allowing us to reinvest in our operations, benefit from expanded access to markets and critical risk managements tools, and keep food flowing from Monroe County to tables near and far. It is a privilege to join Congressman Walberg as his guest at the State of the Union, and I look forward to President Trump discussing how his policies are providing families like mine with certainty so we can keep our multi-generation farm alive and well."
