I'm back in my hometown of Pittsburgh today talking with producers, small business owners, and local officials about the work @USDA is doing to create more economic opportunities and greater prosperity in communities in Pennsylvania and nationwide.

Huge announcement by the Secretary of Agriculture at the National Farmers Union convention today on Product of USA rules. I’ve been fighting for this since 2015.

Go beyond the misleading headlines to learn the truth behind common myths about climate change. We illustrate the essential role family farmers play as stewards of our soil, water and climate. farmaid.org/issues/soil-wate…

Farmers working together for mutual benefit –– that’s the essence of the cooperative movement and the spirit that's motivated Farmers Union since 1902. We're excited to join cooperatives nationwide in celebrating National #CoopMonth throughout October. #CoopsBuildEconomicPower

We had an incredibly productive meeting with @TheJusticeDept yesterday to talk competition and antitrust enforcement in ag. It's great that this administration is making competition a priority and that we were able to make our case directly to the DOJ. justice.gov/opa/pr/assistant…

NFU’s Legislative Fly-In is here! In the coming days, over 250 Farmers Union members from across the country will arrive in D.C. to advocate for #FairnessForFarmers, NFU’s farm bill priorities, and climate, conservation and biofuels efforts. nfu.org/fly-in.

Rural America is struggling. Why? Because the monopolies dominating agribusiness are squeezing them from all sides. That’s why we’re standing up for farmers, because consolidation hurts farmers, ranchers, & everyone across the country. #FairnessForFarmers
Join the fray! Join today! (Bonus: do it before 15 SEP, and you might just win killer seats and hotel accommodations at this years #FarmAid!)

As I outlined in my Food Systems Transformation speech in June, the food system of the future needs to be fair, competitive, and resilient. We’re working to create a level playing field for small and medium producers and a more equitable economy for those in food and agriculture.
PA Farmers Union retweeted
This week in 1902, Farmers Union began our mission to represent family farmers. 120 years later, we're still advocating for family farmers and their communities. Thank you to our members for their commitment and passion that got us here.
