Letter to U.S. Congressional Delegation from Agriculture Groups
As representatives of farmers, livestock and specialty crop producers, lenders, and other essential
stakeholders in agricultural communities across the United States, we write to express our strong
support for advancing a meaningful farm bill in 2024 that addresses worsening conditions in
farm country. Given the enormous challenges facing production agriculture – including a farm
economy that has taken a downward spiral – it is imperative Congress act before year’s end to
strengthen farm policy for America’s farmers. It is critical that Congress pass a new farm bill that
strengthens the safety net as many producers are facing multiple years of not being profitable and
this is causing their overall financial situation to deteriorate.
