AFT joined @NFUDC, @NASDAnews, & @sustainableag in calling for inclusion of local food purchase as part of a congressional ag relief package. This bipartisan approach would provide reliable demand for farmers, nutritious food to communities, & keep more dollars circulating in rural America. bit.ly/4cfHhMg

"My family is also a customer of AgWest Farm Credit. We remain grateful for the time that @AgWestFC helped us through a period of major financial stress.
"They understood the value of what we were trying to accomplish on our farm and more accurately evaluated our risk compared to other lenders we consulted."
