Farmers and ranchers are utilizing farm bill programs to ensure they are acting as stewards of the land. The farm bill's conservation programs have positively impacted operations and keep them in business.
Congress cannot wait until next year to pass a farm bill due to the uncertainty in agriculture. The farm bill has been a safety net for farmers and ranchers, allowing them to weather the storm and continue to grow food for their communities.
Farmers and ranchers are encouraged to reach out to their elected officials and share their agriculture story. One of the best things a farmer or rancher can do is pick up the phone and have a conversation with their legislators or their staff about how the farm bill has impacted on their farm. They can also show pictures of how the farm bill has helped them.
