Congress must double down on voluntary conservation programs, like EQIP and CSP, that reward good stewardship and respect farmers’ independence. Build on what works, for farmers’ sake. 🔗: nfu.org/forfarmerssake #NFUWeekOfAction

We need a farm bill that breaks up corporate power and gives independent producers a fair chance to compete. That means real enforcement of antitrust laws and market reform. This is about fairness, for farmers' sake. #NFUWeekOfAction đź”—: nfu.org/forfarmerssake

Minnesotans need a bipartisan farm bill- and they need it now.   Yesterday I met with Minnesota Farmers Union to talk about how we can defend funding for farm programs, fight the Administration’s trade war and pass the farm bill that MN farmers need.

The farm bill is a food bill, and it should work for everyone. We are calling on Congress to pass a strong, bipartisan farm bill that supports both farmers and families. When we support farmers and consumers together, everybody wins. đź”—: nfu.org/forfarmerssake

Today, some MFU members sat down with Madeliene Lerner, deputy district director for Angie Craig, to discuss the need for a strong farm bill that supports both farmers and consumers. Though this was the final day of #NFUWeekOfAction, our advocacy continues — for farmers’ sake.
