American farmers don’t ask for special treatment. They ask for a fair chance.
The cuts made through the “One Big Beautiful Bill” are making that chance harder to find.
Across rural America, farmers are facing higher input costs, continued market uncertainty, and shrinking access to healthcare in many communities. At the same time, reductions affecting programs that support nutrition, rural hospitals, agricultural research, and clean energy projects are rippling through local economies that depend on agriculture.
When rural hospitals struggle, farmers have farther to travel in an emergency. When public schools lose resources, it becomes harder to attract the next generation of families to farming communities. When research and rural development investments are reduced, farmers lose tools that can help them stay competitive in a global marketplace.
Strong farms need strong rural communities. You can’t separate agriculture from healthcare, education, infrastructure, and local businesses. They all work together.
If we want American agriculture to thrive, we should be investing in the people who grow our food—not making it harder for rural communities to survive.
Our farmers deserve policies that strengthen rural America, not weaken it.
