The Farm Bill is critical to the future of Louisiana agriculture and rural communities. It provides the essential risk management tools, nutrition programs, and conservation efforts that keep our farms running, our families fed, and our land sustainable. Now is the time to act—without it, our farmers, ranchers, and rural economies face uncertainty. Join us in urging Congress to pass a new Farm Bill that ensures the stability and success of agriculture in Louisiana. Food security is national security. Your voice can make the difference—take action today.
