Who thinks food is grown by supermarkets, ? Its no more grown by supermarkets than it is by farmers, Yes, farmers work hard to plant the seeds, tend the plants, gather the harvest, care for the livestock, but they do not grow the food, that is down to the farms, the fields, the soil, the earth, without which there would be no use for farmers, our crops require the soil, to provide the nutrients required to sustain life and grow, just as we require food, which is why farmland must be protected, if we want to continue to eat real food, grown in fresh air, with sunlight and rain, Not some factory produced substitute, nationalfarmlandtrust.org

Great Meeting with Representative Vince Fong (CA-20th) Today, the Family Farm Alliance had the pleasure of meeting with Representative Vince Fong to discuss the critical issues facing California’s agricultural community. We emphasized the importance of protecting Western irrigated agriculture, which serves as the backbone of our nation’s food supply. With inflation and rising grocery prices being top a concern for many Americans in 2024, it’s crucial that we continue to support the farmers and ranchers who provide for us all. We talked about how increased input and transportation costs are pushing grocery prices higher, and how domestic food production must be prioritized to avoid even higher costs from global competition. Western U.S. agriculture is vital, and protecting water access and ensuring flexible water management are essential to sustaining our production capacity. Now is the time to strengthen this sector, not reduce farmland—especially as drought and regulatory challenges continue to strain resources. Thanks, Rep. Fong, for your ongoing support of our farmers and ranchers! #FamilyFarmAlliance #WesternIrrigatedAgriculture #FoodSecurity #WaterAccess #InflationConcerns
