I Just wrapped up a policy packed, educational, and inspiring trip to D.C. for meetings to begin developing Farm Bill policy, strategy, and partnerships.

One result is that Beginning Farmers is going to be partnering with the National Young Farmers Coalition; National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition; Center For Rural Affairs; Land Stewardship Project, and others to develop a policy platform and strategy for Farm Bill advocacy around new/young/beginning farmer issues.

And we need your help! Please take five minutes and fill out the following survey from NYFC that will guide our policy priorities: Click here to take survey

If you’d be interested in participating in advocacy around beginning farmer programs/issues, please contact us and let us know!
