    Rural America is struggling. Why? Because the monopolies dominating agribusiness are squeezing them from all sides. That’s why we’re standing up for farmers, because consolidation hurts farmers, ranchers, & everyone across the country. #FairnessForFarmers

    In India, farmers are protesting against policies that will cut into their income, give corporations more power, + erode rural communities. These issues resonate strongly w/ farmers in the U.S., who have seen similar changes over the last several decades. apnews.com/article/iowa-n…

    In response to our press release last week on racism and police brutality, we've heard from several people saying that this is "not an agricultural issue." But we disagree. Agriculture, like many industries, is rife with racism. It is our responsibility to fight that racism.

    #DYK: Bats pollinate over 300 species of fruit. Also, if you wrap them in blankets, they make adorable little batritos. #BatWeek

    For months, Indian farmers have been protesting policies that will cut into their income and give corporations more power. As we fight against similar policies here in the U.S., National Farmers Union stands in solidarity with our fellow farmers in India.

    .@PeteButtigieg: “Farming is hard enough without climate change. But rural Americans can be part of the solution. There’s enough potential in our soil to offset all of the emissions of our transportation sector, and we need to unlock that.” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #ClimateTownHall
