We must instead use our public dollars to invest in the long term resiliency of our farm and food system. We must build out reliable markets, create risk supports for those farmers willing to step out of the mainstream corn and soybean system to try something new, and invest in the kind of transportation, distribution, and processing facilities that create a resilient farm and food system. The future of farming is diverse, farmer-led, and stewardship minded, and we need to start building for that future now before it’s too late.

Tell your elected representatives in Congress that tariffs and bailouts are not agriculture policy and to prioritize support for more local food systems development and crop insurance reforms, while creating diverse, reliable markets for America’s farmers.
