Join us in supporting our fruit growers.
As many of you know, a late freeze hit Delta County, and many orchardists lost their entire crop. For those producers affected, that’s a full season of work and income gone overnight. There's no replacing a loss like that.
But showing up still matters
We are working to provide a community dinner and care packages for the impacted farms, and we need your help to make it happen. AgAssist is AgWell's crisis response fund. It's entirely donation-driven, and all proceeds go to supporting farmers and ranchers through tough times.
With what looks like a tough growing season ahead, we need your support!
Donate at /agassist/ and help us lend support through the tough times. 🍑
Join us in supporting our Western Slope fruit growers!
As many of you know, a late freeze hit Delta County, resulting in severe losses - many of 100% for the growers there. That’s not just a bad year. It’s a full season of work, investment, and income gone overnight. There’s no replacing a loss like that.
But showing up still matters. We’re supporting AgAssist, the crisis response fund of @rmfunion AgWell program, to provide direct support to impacted growers and their families. This includes a community meal and care packages—simple, tangible ways to make sure folks know they’re not facing this alone.
And the reality is, this season isn’t getting easier. Ongoing drought, high fuel and fertilizer costs, and wildfire risk are already stacking up against producers across the region.
Funds raised will support this immediate effort, with additional resources held to respond to what the rest of the season brings.
Please help us support the farms that feed our communities. Donate here: rmfu.org/agassist

We want to thank Congresswoman Hageman for standing in opposition to this bill, and we will continue to advocate for changes in the Senate version that will support family farmers and ranchers rather than deepening the challenges they face as a result of decades of failed food and farm policies.
