Dear John,

We all know that farming is connected to the health of our planet and that agricultural practices and policies have a major impact on the health of our communities, our soil, water and air, and our future. We also know that the family farmers and ranchers we depend upon are on the front lines of climate change, facing new precipitation patterns, severe drought, floods and other extreme weather events.

Family farmers are resourceful, resilient and innovative. They're developing new crop varieties, livestock breeds, and farm practices and strategies that are specifically designed to help them adapt to our evolving climate realities.

Your gift to support family farmers now would make a real difference right when they need it most. Please make a donation today to show them just how much the good food they grow means to you.

Our family farmers and ranchers bring us hope for our climate and our future. When we choose food from family farmers, we're prioritizing communities above corporations and putting our food dollars to good use by supporting their investments in the health of our planet.

As a small token of our thanks, we’ll be glad to send you a deluxe stainless steel Farm Aid water bottle with your generous gift of $100 or more (while supplies last) so that you can show your support of family farmers everywhere you go!

Your support of Farm Aid with a gift in any amount today strengthens family farmers so that they can thrive and keeps them on the land where they belong. Together, uniting with our family farmers, we can make a real difference in confronting a changing climate and strengthening our communities.

Thank you,

Steve Snyder
Farm Aid Development and Brand Director
