The LOCAL Foods Act will support small-scale family farmers

Farmers raising animals on a small-scale face challenges when it comes to slaughtering and selling their meat. USDA requires the use of regulated facilities to slaughter and produce meat that's for sale, but because there are so few, farmers must book a date to process their animals months or even years in advance. The LOCAL Foods Act offers a simple fix.

Tell Congress: support the Fair Credit for Farmers Act

The Fair Credit for Farmers Act makes Farm Service Agency loans less risky, protecting farmer homes and businesses. It also holds the FSA accountable for errors and creates pathways for farmers to reduce their debt load. Let's ensure that these improvements become a permanent part of the next Farm Bill.
