Young farmers want in. The system still keeps them out.

A $300 million USDA program meant to expand land access was shut down before most projects could even begin. The reality hasn’t changed: land is expensive, infrastructure is lacking, and too many barriers remain for the next generation.

They're looking for the ability to fix their equipment, because if they can't fix it, they can lose everything.

When these guys lie and say they don’t see the horrible things Trump does and says, the media should show them. In real time. Make them respond. Stop letting them weasel out.
