As farmers, we usually start the day with a full list of things to get done. No matter how hard we try to do it all ourselves, our work is always made better with more hands pitching in. The challenges we face mentally work in the same way, and the only way we can reach success, just like our endless to-do list on the farm, is one step at a time. Unfortunately, there is still a stigma when it comes to rural mental health.

Farmers and ranchers hold a unique bond with the land we care for. This connection often spans generations, grounded in a deep respect for the soil, water and natural resources that sustain our farms. We take pride in being entrusted with these resources and always strive to do the right thing by our land and communities. Years of regulatory tug-of-war on a clear “waters of the United States” rule, however, have kept farmers in limbo on what they can and cannot do on their own land.

I love springtime on the farm. Everything is fresh and green. Everywhere you look, you see life. It’s a time of renewal, of regeneration. Really, that is what modern agriculture is about year-round. But springtime brings this cycle into full Technicolor on the farm. When I look out on my farmland, I am reminded that it hasn’t always been this lush and green. It has taken years of hard work and dedication to get us to this point.

By Zippy DuvallAcross the country this morning, men and women in every region and every state are rising to grow the food, fiber and renewable fuel Americans depend on. Most of them have been working for hours before sunup this morning, and many will be working still as the sun dips below the horizon this evening. The days are long on the farm, and the work is hard. Farmers and ranchers don’t shy away from a hard day’s work, though.

Farmers and ranchers have long been leaders in adopting innovation — from integrating new technology to embracing creative solutions that improve efficiency and sustainability. The spirit of innovation is what helps drive agriculture forward, and it’s why Farm Bureau in partnership with Farm Credit launched the Ag Innovation Challenge. Now in its 12th year, the Ag Innovation Challenge gives Farm Bureau members a front-row seat to the latest in agricultural innovation.

It is deeply troubling for the White House to endorse a report that sows seeds of doubt and fear about our food system and farming practices, then attempts to celebrate farmers and the critical role they play in producing the safest food supply in the world.

.@FarmBureau applauds the House passage of H.R.1, which modernizes farm bill programs and extends and improves critical tax provisions that benefit America’s small farmers and ranchers.
Our nation’s food security depends on farms of all sizes, but it is getting more difficult for smaller farms to survive tough economic times. We look forward to learning more about Secretary Rollins’ plan and working with USDA to ensure farm families don’t just endure but thrive.
