We have been informed by the Nebraska Cattleman's that Nebraska Trucking Association is offering the Nebraska Trucking Heroes Stipend through its charitable arm, the Nebraska Trucking Cares Fund, overseen by the NTA Women’s Council. Truckers, farmers, and ranchers who help transport emergency relief supplies can get support to offset the high cost of fuel.
It won't make you whole, but it helps with the sting of current operating costs.

I asked for this change in definition when I testified at the House Judiciary Committee’s Regulatory and Antitrust Hearing.
Please retweet. Please listen to my testimony (in the comments on their tweet). Please comment on the rule change.
Small processors keep rural America running.
For nearly 30 years, USDA has used outdated definitions that don’t always reflect how these businesses actually operate. We’re fixing that.
@USDAFoodSafety is asking for direct input to make sure our policies work for small and independent processors, not against them. Farmers first. ➡️ federalregister.gov/document…

This reminds of coming back from trick or treating as a kid. I would dump all my candy out on the kitchen table see how many candy bars, gum and candy corn I got.
And with this same level of excitement.

They’re calling it “onlyfarms” because our government believes in whoring out producers with intent of cheap goods for consumers.

Probably a long-shot but is there a pig producer in North Carolina similar to @GGunthorp that sells D2C? Looking for 200+ chops for an event in June that has a sustainability story to go with them. Any connections would be greatly appreciated.

Iowans - Today my conversation with @ShawnRyan762 released. Meeting him was a tremendous honor.
For years I’ve been thankful for his willingness to take on the real issues & never back down from the mission.
My commitment to Iowans is to do exactly that as the next Governor.

“My whole life, every politician I’ve ever met has said, ‘We have to support farmers.’”
“And everything’s gotten worse.”
Iowa farmer Zach Lahn just blasted Big Ag and politicians for failing the very farmers they claim to support.
“In the past 10 years… the agribusiness lobby has spent about $1.5 billion… lobbying Congress.”
“The top 5 companies… have made about $150 billion in profit.”
“In the same time, we’ve lost 100,000 family farms.”
“So who are they lobbying for? It’s not the farmer.”
“Big agriculture has created a caricature of farming.”
“They’re pretending to defend the heritage of our farmers.”
“But actually, they’re the ones extracting every dollar of wealth out of our farms that they possibly can.”
