Input costs are high.⬆️ Commodity prices are low.⬇️ And farmers and ranchers are shouldering record debt loads. Those are the problems we’re trying to tackle every single day.

Thanks to Senator John Hoeven and U.S. Department of Agriculture Undersecretary Richard Fordyce for a good discussion today! I’m always grateful for the opportunity to represent North Dakota Farmers Union alongside our partners across ND agriculture!

👏The House passed year-round E15 last night in a BIG bipartisan vote. Thank you to Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak for working across the aisle to get this thing done! The bill now heads to the Senate, where we’ll keep stressing the importance of growing strong, stable domestic demand for the commodities we produce!

Congratulations to Great Plains Food Bank on the earth-turning for their new statewide distribution center! We at North Dakota Farmers Union are proud to support this project and all the great work GPFB does to help feed hungry people across our state!

Good to see Mark Watne still knows how to use a shovel too!

🟢May is Mental Health Awareness Month. It’s an important time to recognize the stress farmers and ranchers carry. Unfortunately, farmers and ranchers die by su***de at a rate 3.5X higher the general population.

That’s why North Dakota Farmers Union is hosting a QPR Su***de Awareness training as part of our Summer Conference. Join us in Medora on July 18. To register and for more resources on farm stress, check out the comments.👇

Family farmers need strong, stable domestic demand for the crops we produce. The best way to do that in the short-term? Pass permanent year-round E15.⛽️

Thanks to Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak for the frank conversation ahead of the big E15 vote next week. And of course, good to talk about the work that remains as the farm bill heads to the Senate. We’ll keep pushing for efforts to strengthen market competition, especially as we grapple with surging input costs.📈
