📰Fertilizer prices are volatile & input costs are rising. The next #FarmBill is an opportunity to invest in soil health & conservation practices to help farmers cut fertilizer use, lower costs & build resilience. Great piece in @CivilEats➡️https://t.co/FVwcCQdmKy

🗞️A resilient food system needs more than a handful of dominant processors. Supporting small & mid-sized meat processors creates opportunity for farmers, strengthens rural economies, & gives consumers more choices. @USDA should keep the momentum going. 🔗➡️https://t.co/DJcCZGk17I

📰@USDA's reorganization of the Research, Education & Extension & Food Safety mission areas, relocates key staff & closes a major research center. This lacks transparency, risks staff losses, service disruptions & weakens support for farmers & processors.🔗https://t.co/5kJAmkWCWo

[NSAC @sustainableag]

Hundreds of orgs urged Congress to fully fund farmer-led research, urban ag & conservation in FY27. Key asks: $60M for SARE, $25M for urban ag & $1.05B for conservation support. Investing in farmers = stronger, more resilient food systems. Details: https://t.co/RxH8QZj49M #ICYMI
