1 million strong for 1 Billion!

The average age of the American Farmer is 57. 

It goes up and up every year. 

We need to inspire and support the next generation of America's farmers.

Join us in the effort to shift 1 billion dollars of government subsidies to help young people become farmers.

Act now!

We regret to inform you that rumors of a “Secret Farm Bill” being hatched behind closed doors in Washington by only a handful of legislators and industrial agriculture lobbyists are about to become a reality.

This corrupt deal is an outrage and steals any chances for real reforms for local, organic and healthy food until the next Farm Bill comes up in 2017. Please make an urgent call to the listed leaders of the House and Senate ag committees today to tell them to say no to corporate greed and NO to the "Secret Farm Bill".

SAY NO TO THE "SECRET FARM BILL"

Did you know that a simple, easily-fixed issue forces low-income people to buy unhealthy food instead of fresh fruits and vegetables?

  The USDA can make a common sense, low-cost administrative change that would provide EBT      machines free of charge to healthy fresh food retailers. This change would benefit farmers that are  losing out on important sales and allow low-income customers to have access to healthier, more  nutritious food options.

 No one should be forced to buy unhealthy food for their family because the government makes it  impossible to buy anything better.

 Can you help us make this change?
