Tell The USDA: Honor Your Contracts With Farmers

Farmland prices are at historic highs. The next generation of farmers can't afford to break in. Congress created a $300 million program to change that.

But Trump just canceled it.

On March 23, the USDA terminated 49 of 50 contracts under the Increasing Land, Capital, and Market Access Program — ending five-year agreements with tribes, nonprofits, and farmer organizations across 40 states. The administration first froze the funding so grantees couldn't act, then cited their lack of progress as grounds for termination.

This is the USDA's only program designed to address the land access crisis. Without it, farmland consolidation accelerates, new farmers get locked out, and rural communities lose.

Add your name: demand the USDA honor its contracts, restore ILCMA funding, and stop using politics to abandon the next generation of American farmers.
