Release: Farmers and Advocates Converge in DC for NSAC Lobby Day<\/strong> <\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Washington, DC, February 12, 2026 <\/em>\u2013 Yesterday, nearly 150 farmers, ranchers, and food system advocates from Alaska to Florida, joined the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) in Washington, DC to press for action on federal agriculture and food policy. Participants held more than 150 meetings with members of Congress, congressional staff, and USDA, nearly doubling farmer participation from recent years and underscoring mounting frustration across farm country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farmers and ranchers representing a wide range of regions, production types, and farm sizes met with decision-makers to share firsthand accounts of how they\u2019re leveraging federal programs to build thriving farm businesses and feed their communities.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe came directly to Capitol Hill to educate lawmakers on issues important to our farm and the farms of our neighbors. We shared personal stories that highlight the impact recent and current investments in conservation and local food systems have made in our community and why continued support for these programs is needed\u201d <\/em>said Ed Dubrick of <\/strong>DuChick Ranch, LLC<\/strong><\/a> and the Illinois Stewardship Alliance, an NSAC member. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Participants emphasized the need for a farm bill that meets the moment by making long overdue, robust investments in farmers and their communities. They called on Congress and USDA to restore stability to and funding for federal food and agriculture programs that support conservation efforts, local food access, and the economic health of farmers and the communities they call home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cStorytelling has the power to bridge divides, change minds, and inspire real progress. Today, we saw this power in action as 50<\/em>+ farmers took precious time away from their farms and families to travel to DC and share how federal food and farm policies have hit home. These farmers aren\u2019t just articulating hardships they\u2019ve faced, they are offering Congress a roadmap for practical solutions and opportunities that would benefit all farms,<\/em>\u201d <\/em>said Stef Funk, NSAC Grassroots Co-Director. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in the day, a letter signed by 500 farmers and ranchers<\/a> from across the country, some of whom attend NSAC\u2019s Lobby Day, was delivered to key members of Congress urging immediate action to address the ongoing financial crisis facing America\u2019s farmers and ranchers. The letter<\/a> outlined the severe challenges facing farmers, including high production costs, volatile markets, low prices, and overproduction, and warns that without meaningful congressional action, more farmers will be forced out of business, putting rural communities at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSAC has been a leader in agricultural policy for more than 35 years and has been instrumental in helping to develop some of our nation\u2019s most successful agricultural programs for conserving natural resources, advancing the next generation of farmers, supporting agricultural research, and creating sustainable market connections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSAC is grateful to all of the farmers and advocates for taking time out of their busy lives to join Lobby Day, as well as the Senators, Representatives, USDA officials, and staff members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
