The Senate is preparing to release its Farm Bill proposal in the coming weeks, and we need your help to ensure young farmers' priorities are included.

On April 30, the House passed its version of the Farm Bill, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 (H.R. 7567). Young Farmers opposes the House bill as written because it fails to adequately address the challenges facing the next generation of farmers and ranchers. The bill falls short on equitable land access, critical nutrition and local food programs, and climate action tools that farmers need to build resilient operations.

Now, the Senate has an opportunity to do better.

Your Senator needs to hear directly from farmers about what is at stake. Young farmers are the future of agriculture in this country, and they deserve a Farm Bill that addresses the barriers they face, invests in their success, and helps build thriving farms, communities, and local food systems.

Take Action Today

Option 1: Send an email to Your Senator

Urge your Senator to support a Farm Bill that prioritizes:

• Land access and affordable capital for beginning farmers
• Climate-smart agriculture and conservation programs
• SNAP and nutrition programs that support farmers and communities
• Local food and procurement programs that create reliable markets

Send a Letter to Your Senator: https://youngfarmers.quorum.us/campaign/160444/?cid=1&login_code=gAavZL6mFppLXlh5ZG4XBYXRqrsuIod5rEoncujFl4M_Bnf92mSBhZ2KThvOKpj8WpQ2ZcEkq07hgfGvpmCEi_cH0FCyKh8ZavFecs4I8DGVQbqPBM3aOflofxU%3D 

Want to Go a Step Further?

We're also organizing virtual meetings with Senate offices and looking for farmers who are interested in sharing their experiences directly with policymakers.

You do not need prior advocacy experience—we'll provide support and preparation. We are providing a $80 stipend for farmers who attend a meeting. I will follow up with you personally once the availability form is completed and we schedule a meeting with the Senate Office. We are prioritizing certain key states, and there are limited spots available.

Share Your Availability for Upcoming Senate Meetings: https://youngfarmers.jotform.com/261376215702049 

You can choose to:

• Send a letter
• Participate in a meeting
• Or do both

Every action helps.

Your voice has already helped shape the vision for a better Farm Bill. Now is the moment to ensure Congress delivers a Farm Bill that invests in land access, climate action, SNAP, and local food systems so the next generation of farmers can thrive.

Thank you for standing with us.
