As August arrives, Congress recesses, and elected officials return home for the district work period. Farmers Union members unite to advocate for essential policy priorities concerning family farm agriculture. This is the time to take action and make your voice heard!
Pass a Strong Farm Bill: Ensure fairness for farmers by addressing the agriculture monopoly crisis, strengthening farm programs, disaster assistance, and risk management. Advocate for addressing USDA staffing shortfalls and enacting the Dairy Revitalization Plan. Farmers need support to tackle climate change effectively.
Support an American-Grown, Renewable Energy Future: Embrace renewable energy sources to build a sustainable future for American agriculture. Advocate for policies that promote and invest in renewable energy solutions.
Preserve Local Control and Landowner Rights: Defend the rights of landowners and uphold local control in agriculture. Ensure that decisions affecting farmers' livelihoods are made at the local level.
Engage with other Farmers Union members in your state by attending town hall meetings or scheduling meetings with elected officials. Your active involvement can influence positive change and shape the future of agriculture.
