FPF is a nonprofit, nonpartisan coalition created to educate policymakers & Americans about agriculture’s contribution to a strong and vibrant United States.
After years of delay, America’s farm families need a strong Farm Bill to contend with the challenges of today.
Smart farm policy decisions, like a strong Farm Bill, ensure we can keep the great tradition of American agriculture growing for years to come.
Pass the Farm Bill.
It is estimated that American sugarbeet and sugarcane farmers have lost more than $3 billion in potential income over the past 2 years due to highly subsidized over-quota foreign sugar.

Farming is a family affair.💚 We are grateful for all of our farmers – no matter the age – who help #KeepItSweetInAmerica.

As @CongressmanGT led a @HouseAgGOP hearing on the innovation and hard work of American farmers yesterday, we spotted something familiar... 👀
Thanks for helping us #KeepItSweetInAmerica, Mr. Chairman!
‼️ Farm Bill 2.0 has advanced out of the Senate Agriculture Committee in a 12-11 vote. ‼️
It's past due - and America's farm families need an updated Farm Bill to contend with the realities of growing a crop in 2026.

The House Agriculture Committee gathered this morning for a hearing on increasing demand and opportunities for homegrown products here and abroad.
Chairman Thompson summed it up well: food security is national security, and our farmers are the best in the world at what they do.
🚨Producers can enroll in ARC/PLC for the 2026 crop year starting September 16 through December 11. 🚨
➡️ Producers can also elect and enroll in ARC/PLC for the 2027 crop year from November 2 through March 15, 2027.
Key improvements to the farm safety net were made through the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, including updates for ARC/PLC, crop insurance, and more. Strong farm policy, including a strong farm safety net, is crucial for America’s farm and ranch families.

The Senate Ag Committee will regroup tomorrow after a failed Farm Bill vote, in hopes of finally moving the legislation past the finish line.
Committee Chair @JohnBoozman said he's hopeful the return of Senator Mitch McConnell will be a win for farmers.
Congress is back in Session this week, and a long to-do list awaits lawmakers.
Smart farm policy isn’t partisan - and America’s farm and ranch families deserve more than platitudes and sound bites.
Food security is national security. Stand with America’s farmers!
This Labor Day, we honor America's hard-working farmers and ranchers. While many of us enjoy a day of rest, they'll be out doing the work that feeds, clothes, and fuels our nation. Thank you for the early mornings, the long seasons, and the work that never stops. #thankafarmer
While commodity prices have slightly improved in recent days, elevated input costs and a slew of circumstances far beyond farmers’ control have kept the farm economy under strain.
Smart farm policy decisions help keep America’s farm families resilient.
Congress and the Administration must stand with America’s farm families by passing emergency assistance, holding trade partners accountable, passing Farm Bill 2.0, and more.
Americans spend less of their disposable income on the safest, most reliable food supply than anywhere else in the world. That’s not just coincidence - it’s a result of smart farm policies and a strong farm safety net. #ThankAFarmer
