Submit Testimony to the House Ag Committee by May 19!

We have from now until May 19th to tell the House Committee on Agriculture what the next generation of farmers needs in the next Farm BIll. 

We wrote some sample testimony below, but we highly recommend that you personalize it or write your own. Your message will also be sent to your specific representative.

Things to include in your testimony:

*Who you are 

*About your farm -- or a farm you depend on

*Federal programs that you have applied for, received or benefit from (i.e. SARE, ATTRA, EQIP)

*Farming successes and struggles

*What you want the committee to focus on when writing the Farm Bill; what kind of food system do you want to see? 

For inspiration, we recommend checking out testimony from Michael Kilpatrick of Kilpatrick Family Farm here. 

DEADLINE MAY 19th.

Email info@youngfarmers.org with any questions.
