Farm country is on edge. Family farmers and ranchers are facing a perfect storm: volatile markets, rising input costs, shrinking federal support, mounting trade tensions, and no new farm bill in sight. This uncertainty is putting farmers and ranchers at risk. Farmers Union is urging Congress to act—for farmers’ sake.
Congress can ease the burden on farmers by passing a strong, five-year farm bill that:
- Strengthens the farm safety net
- Builds upon voluntary conservation programs
- Restores balance and opportunity in the marketplace
- Delivers fast and reliable risk management programs
- Garners broad support from both farmers and consumers
Join Farmers Union members across the country to send a clear message to Congress. This week-long campaign has multiple ways to engage. We need YOU to share your voice from your farm. Below you will find pre-made digital resources for you to take and use. This includes social media graphics, draft captions, video prompts and more. From there you can:
1. Send a letter to your representatives urging them to take action. Using the link below to send a quick and easy virtual letter.
2. Share one social media post a day. Use the Content Toolkit below to share your story. This includes social media graphics, draft captions, video prompts and more
3. Record and share a video of yourself and why passing a strong farm bill is important for you and your farm.
