On the recordDecember 10, 2025
many farmers and producers are in dire need of help, facing hardship because of decisions made beyond their control. At kitchen tables right now, farmers are often forced to make unthinkable choices, like shutting down a farm that has been in their family for generations. For farm families, relief is not their preference, but right now, it is urgently needed for survival. The recently announced assistance package is a step in the right direction, but some growers, such as tobacco, are being left behind. Others are left fighting to figure it out amongst themselves. Short-term aid only tackles part of the problem, but we need balanced trade policies and certainty, or else many farms may be at risk.
