Since 1985, Farm Aid has worked to keep family farmers on the land by providing immediate and effective support services to farm families in crisis. We help farmers find the resources they need to access new markets, transition to more sustainable and profitable farming practices, and survive natural disasters.
Resources for Farmers
When farmers contact Farm Aid, our goal is to connect them with helpful services, resources and opportunities specific to their individual needs. Our resources include our 1-800-FARM-AID Hotline (available in both English and Spanish), a form to request assistance online, a search tool to connect with hundreds of organizations providing guidance, our own Farm Resource Guides built from our decades of experience and more.
If you are a farmer, Farm Aid is here for you.

Family Farm Disaster Fund
As farmers and ranchers pick up the pieces and work to rebuild in the wake of natural disasters like hurricanes, drought and wildfires, the financial, physical and emotional weight of navigating recovery can be overwhelming. Farm Aid is here to help.
Farm Aid created the Family Farm Disaster Fund to help farm families recover from weather-related disasters. Few businesses are as vulnerable to natural disasters as farms, where the loss of crops and livestock can also mean the loss of income for farm families for the year.

“Homeplace Under Fire”
This documentary film tells the story of the grassroots work of American farm advocates and their 30 year fight to keep family farmers on the land. The Farm Crisis of the 1980s drove hundreds of thousands of family farmers into foreclosure. Yet, out of that crisis arose a legion of farm advocates who refused to stand idly by and watch their way of life be destroyed. Ordinary Americans taught themselves extraordinary skills. As fellow farmers, farm wives, and rural leaders, they studied laws and regulations, started hotlines, answered farmers’ calls from their kitchen tables, counseled their neighbors, and went toe-to-toe with lenders – giving their all to keep their neighbors on the land.
