🚨 We have an URGENT message for President Trump and USDA Secretary Rollins: our family farms are in CRISIS.
120 MAHA organizations, farmers, and medical leaders just delivered a call for dramatic changes.
Since 2017, the US has lost over 160,000 family farms.
Why?
Industry consolidation and soaring input costs have forced an average of 63 family farms a day PERMANENTLY out of business.
“Decades of unchecked industry monopoly power and rising input costs are pushing America’s best farmers to the economic brink.”
Americans and farmers voted for President Trump’s MAHA agenda to reverse this crisis.
Now, we urge USDA to take 7 key steps to align its policies and funding priorities with the promises outlined in the MAHA Commission report:
1. Use USDA purchasing power to support healthy food and independent, sustainable farmers.
2. Restore local food and infrastructure programs that children and families rely on for a healthy diet.
3. Advance healthy school meals so that children are not dependent on ultra-processed foods.
4. Support organic and regenerative agriculture to reduce the toxic load in children’s food.
5. Strengthen the Natural Resources Conservation Service to protect our soil.
6. Reform agricultural checkoff programs.
7. Ensure relief programs reach all farmers—not just commodity producers.
