🗞️#Breaking Fleeting Relief for Some Farmers, But ‘Bridge’ Payments Lack Long-Term Solutions. "The Farmer Bridge Assistance Program provides some initial relief, but is insufficient on its own." Read the full release from @YoungFarmers & @sustainableag🔽

We want to hear from you! How is the federal #governmentshutdown impacting your farm business?
We are urging Congress to reopen the government responsibly, and to protect affordable #healthcare for #youngfarmers and working Americans.

“More established farmers, they will have more capital, they will have land tenure, so for a young farmer who experiences any climate shock or climate event, it just becomes more risky.” - @youngfarmers Government Relations Director Vanessa García Polanco

While the Make America Health Again movement supports alternative farming, few of Trump’s policies promote healthy agricultural landscapes. A leaked version of the second MAHA Commission Report underscores these concerns.

The Senate will vote on the budget very soon! Take action to tell Congress to reject this harmful bill which would cut #SNAP, increase payments for commodities growers, and ignore the #landaccess crisis. @SenateAg @SenateAgDems @SenateAgGOP

Farmers across the U.S. are dealing with the impacts of #climatechange every day, and many face barriers to adopting #conservation practices that can play a key role in building #climate resilience. As a result, many farmers rely on each other for mentorship and support.
Join @YoungFarmers and @Farmland in supporting the recently reintroduced bipartisan Farmer-to-Farmer Education Act, introduced by @SenatorLujan and @JerryMoran, which would build support for farmer-led conservation education in the next #FarmBill. farmland.org/blog/senators-l…
Congress is in the middle of making huge budget decisions that will hurt 99% of us in favor of the 1% receiving more tax breaks.
The reconciliation bill being voted on this week impacts food and agriculture directly 👇
It makes deep cuts to food aid for families (#SNAP), it backtracks on #climateaction, and it ignores the need for a full #FarmBill in favor of selected subsidies for a few over supporting all farmers fairly.
Contact your Member of Congress to demand they vote no on the reconciliation package today! #BadBudgetBill

House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member @RepAngieCraig stated in last week's hearing that the proposed budget reconciliation package does nothing for the next generation of farmers. We agree.
Passing deep cuts to #SNAP, removing #climate sideboards for #conservation programs, and jeopardizing the path towards a new full #FarmBill certainly do not benefit beginning and #youngfarmers.

This week Congress is making decisions about funding for food assistance and farm programs that impact all of us. Protect SNAP and the farm programs #youngfarmers rely on! Read more and take action: youngfarmers.org/2025/05/bud…
That means SNAP doesn’t just feed people—it sustains local jobs, stabilizes food businesses, and keeps farmers growing.
