The dairy checkoff squanders the hard-earned dollars of struggling dairy farmers by "handing their money over to corporate-friendly lobbyists." That's why Jenny Nelson and Matt Barron urge @SenPeterWelch to support the OFF Act to reform checkoff programs.👇rutlandherald.com/opinion/commen…
Dominant food corporations tell us cyclical avian flu outbreaks are out of their control, but their industrialized practices are largely to blame. Meanwhile, we all pay for their problem through taxpayer bailouts and grocery price gouging. Learn more.👇farmaction.us/2024/04/18/avi…
🧵This Saturday, Iowa farmers will join state legislators for a community meeting to share with FTC Chair, @linakhanFTC, what the acquisition of Iowa Fertilizer Company by Koch Industries means for farmers and the future of rural communities.
"It's our tractor. We bought it, we paid for it, we should be able to do what we want with it." But equipment manufacturers like John Deere are imposing repair restrictions that harm farmers & small businesses. Farmers need the #RightToRepair. Learn more: farmaction.us/righttorepair/
Today, SiX Action, @LocalProgress, and 180 state & local elected officials across 40 states are sounding the alarm on the Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (EATS) Act, a corporate-backed effort to strip local and state governments of their ability to regulate the ag industry.
State and local govts must have the ability to protect farm workers, ensure food safety and animal welfare, and uphold environmental standards. The EATS Act would take that away. That's why LP & @stateinnovation are telling Congress to #DefeatEATS! 📝: localprog.org/DefeatEATS
NCBA lobbied for an EID tag mandate and then lobbied for tax payers to pay for the tags. Now there is $15,000,000 just waiting to pay for the tags they are going to force on cattle producers. If you are a member of NCBA, or of any of their affiliates, this is what you are…
"The lack of transparency and oversight in the checkoff program is what gets me the most. Given that it’s my money going to this tax, I want to know where it’s going." Ranchers like @RCALFUSA's Cash Carruth are calling for the OFF Act to reform checkoffs.abqjournal.com/opinion/opinio…
"Repair restrictions cost farmers precious money and time. Since equipment dealers don’t have the workforce needed to serve farmers during harvest season, our farmers must be able to fix their equipment on their own," said Farm Action Fund's Willie Cade.salon.com/2024/03/25/see…

We were grateful to have this piece in Civil Eats- while we know that change will most likely occur because of consumer demand, we sure could use some support from our law-makers and politicians. Join us in supporting the OFF Act.
“Passing the [OFF] Act in the next Farm Bill is the best action Congress can take to level the playing field for farmers and ranchers,” said Farm Action Fund's Sarah Carden at Interfaith Power & Light’s recent event. Learn more about the event.⬇️ legalreader.com/new-mexican-fa…
Yesterday, Farm Action Fund's Willie Cade urged state legislators to restore farmers’ right to repair their own agricultural equipment at Tennessee’s Ag Day on the Hill. Thanks to all who joined this critical #RightToRepair movement! farmactionfund.us/2024/03/19/far…
We were alarmed to see @JusticeATR funding quietly stripped during the appropriations process earlier this month. Thank you @SenAmyKlobuchar for your efforts to restore full funding to the Division, which is sorely needed in light of increasing demands on its capacity.
.@NTU supports bipartisan efforts to increase checkoff program transparency & accountability: "Policymakers can restore trust in these programs and ensure that they serve the best interests of farmers, consumers, and the agricultural industry as a whole." ntu.org/foundation/det…
