Protect Our Farm and Ranch Land Before It’s too Late!

Protect Our Farm and Ranch Land Before It’s too Late!

The Issue

Every minute of every day, we are losing our farm and ranch land to sprawling development! Once the land is gone, it can’t be brought back and the ripple effect is tremendous.

Farms provide fresh local food for Americans, wildlife habitat, a boon to local economies and our best solutions to address major environmental challenges like climate change and water quality.

Interest in farm and food issues in America is skyrocketing, but there is one piece missing in most of these debates: If farmers are to provide fresh, affordable and safe food for America, we must save our disappearing farm and ranch land. 

Do not stand by as the loss of farmland in this country takes away the food, environmental benefits and economic security given to us by farms. Tell your representatives in Congress to protect our farm and ranch land before it is too late!
