July is Smart Irrigation Month. Because water is sacred, every drop on the farm should be used with intention. Smart Irrigation = healthy soil, thriving crops, and resilience in the heat.

Working under the sun feeds the land and your soul but can also take a toll on your skin. Your skin deserves as much protection as your crops. 🌾
Bites, burns, and bumps are not badges of honor. Healthy skin is part of a thriving farm life. Don't forget to nourish YOU too. ☀️🌾

The #BigBrutalBill makes the biggest-ever cut to SNAP while boosting subsidies for mega-farms & absentee landowners. It drives farm loss, & stalls any hope of a Farm Bill.

🎥 Farmers: share your story — we’ll get it to your members of Congress. >>>https://t.co/1L5V5v8I9p

This #PollinatorWeek we're celebrating bees, butterflies, and native insects that help our crops thrive. Support pollinators by planting native flowers, reducing pesticide use, and protecting their habitats.
