Hey Families,
|
|
Everything
I know about farming and farmland began with my Dad.
|
|
Growing
up on my family’s farm in Washington State meant working in the fields, moving
hay, and helping out Dad with whatever else needed to get done that day.
|
|
He
provided me with a deep understanding of the importance of farming and working
the land. It was, and remains, a way of life that embodies the best of the
American spirit and provides a tangible connection to our nation’s – and my family’s
– heritage.
|
|
Sadly,
America’s farmland is under threat. And family farmers are struggling to
protect their land and their livelihoods from financial pressures and threats
from unchecked development.
|
|
|
|
Your donation will help add to the more than five
million acres of American farmland we’ve already helped protect nationwide.
Farmland that will never be sold for development and lost forever.
|
|
We’re working to:
|
- defend farmland from unnecessary development
|
- promote farming practices that are environmentally
sound
|
- keep farmers on the land by encouraging preservation
of multi-generational farm and ranch ownership
|
|
But we need your help.
|
|
|
|
Help
us protect the farming way of life for future generations.
|
Sincerely,  John
