The American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) is bringing attention to the financial plight of the country’s farmers and ranchers. A recent AFBF Market Intel Report shows that financial stress is severe and persistent across farm country. John Newton, AFBF vice president of public policy and economic analysis, said the factors behind the stress are well-known.
Newton said trade losses heightened the challenges in an already difficult economic environment.
While some help was made available in the One Big Beautiful Bill and the American Relief Act, Newton said that assistance won’t reach farmers until sometime next year.
