Dear John,

Happy New Year! 2022 is a critical year for bringing change to our farm and food system. Though we just entered into the new year, we’re already gearing up to accomplish some big goals.

We hope you'll follow along as we help farmers and ranchers through the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters, by providing emergency assistance and long-term recovery strategies. We will deepen our ability to provide emotional, legal and financial expertise to better serve ALL farmers. As always, we'll continue to fight with and for family farmers and rural people, with their voices at the center, to ensure a powerful 2023 Farm Bill, as well as address challenges like factory farms and climate change. And, that's only the beginning!

We’re grateful to be doing this work with you. Together we are making real change for family farmers and our food system!

Kick off your year with Farm Aid music. Here's a playlist with some staff favorites. (We have new people on our team this year, so stay tuned for an updated playlist in the near future!)
