As long as there’s a few farmers out there, we’ll keep fighting for them. -Willie Nelson during the 1980s Farm Crisis

When we stop telling our own stories, someone else will tell them for us—and they’ll get it wrong.

I’m heartbroken to share that our operation is closing. Like so many family farms, we’ve been hit hard by rising costs, unstable markets, and bad policies.

But this isn’t the end. I’ll continue to fight for farms and rural communities, because our future is worth fighting for. 💙

The problem is policy made by people who've never had to bet their future on a field or a harvest or a hometown.

We need leaders who understand that rural economies are not disposable.

Essential Care matters. Access to hospitals, life-saving medication, and compassionate treatment should never depend on your ZIP code.

An Affordable LIFE means ensuring every community has the care they need.

The #Constitution gives #Congress the power to impose tariffs & regulate commerce with foreign nations. The drafters couldn't have imagined a congress surrendering those powers to a chaotic White House to harm their own farmers + consumers. Gifted article, no pay wall. #WA05 #RuralStrong
Trump says he’ll slap 30% tariffs on Mexico, European Union on Aug. 1
Trump has spent the past several days sending letters to world leaders about new tariffs the United States would be imposing on them.

Teresa Purcell joined Beyond Resistance this week with a simple message:
If you want better policy, you have to engage policymakers or replace them and that starts locally.
