After years of debate, the House passed a version of the Farm Bill that Montana Farmers Union says falls short of addressing the current crisis facing farmers and ranchers.
From lost markets due to tariffs to concerns about corporate consolidation, producers across the country are navigating serious challenges—without meaningful relief in this legislation.
MFU is calling on the Senate to strengthen the bill and deliver real support for family agriculture.
The Farm Bill shapes everything from conservation programs to crop insurance to rural development. So yeah, we’re going to keep showing up for family farmers and ranchers.
What happens when a handful of mega-retailers gain outsized control over our economy—and our communities?
Join us as we dive into Big-Box Swindle by Stacy Mitchell, a powerful look at how large retail chains have reshaped America in less than two decades. From the decline of small businesses to impacts on family farms, local economies, and even civic life, Mitchell connects the dots between corporate concentration and the challenges facing our communities today.
But this isn’t just about what’s broken—it’s also about what’s possible. Through her work with the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, Mitchell highlights how communities across the country are pushing back and rebuilding strong, local economies rooted in independence and resilience.
This conversation hits close to home for Montana—where family farms, ranches, and small businesses are the backbone of our communities.
👉 Come ready to discuss, learn, and explore what a more local, community-driven economy could look like.
