So....today is National Farmers Day. Celebrate small farms, they’re important. Even if our Deborah Anderson of Agriculture does not understand that. #knowyourfarmerknowyourfood @SecretarySonny cbsnews.com/news/agricultu…

For some farmers who sell to local markets, the closure of restaurants and schools has been compounded by farmers market closures. By some estimates, local and regional food markets could see a drop in sales of $688M between March and May. washingtonpost.com/news/voracious…

In documents dating to 2006, government officials predicted that a pandemic would threaten critical businesses and warned them to prepare. Meatpacking companies largely ignored them, and now nearly every one of the predictions has come true. buff.ly/31f5CNP

For every $1 spent on food, only 14 cents goes to farmers. Now is the time to transform our food system to create a fairer, more transparent system, so at the end of the day more of that dollar ends up in a farmer's pocket.

This is exactly why Argus Farm Stop exists: to give consumers more access directly to local farmers! Know your farmer, know your food!

Great example here that one area of land can support crop & animal agriculture. It’s a false dichotomy to assume they are always separate. Livestock provide circularity to the food, fiber, and biofuels system.
