@travellingmia: Here are the ideas I have to support our young farmers. Please share any others! * Expand federal cost-sharing programs like EQIP, especially for new farmers, to lower the cost of becoming a farmer * Make farmland access for the next generation a national priority by co-sponsoring and championing bipartisan legislation that would establish a permanent Farm Bill program to help new and beginning farmers find land, access capital, and get the business support they need to build a thriving operation * Support the reauthorization of agricultural grants to community-based organizations and service providers like UT Extension that provide education, training, and assistance to new and under-resourced farmers   * Reward farmers who keep their land in farming and in the community by strengthening incentives like the Conservation Reserve Program’s Transition Incentive Programs and supporting farm-link programs so that when a farmer retires, it pays to sell or lease to a local, next-generation farmer * Support conservation easements and estate-planning support so families can keep the farm whole across generations * Invest in agricultural schools and agricultural innovation to support the next generation of farmers and help them make the most of our land * Support right to repair legislation, so that farmers and independent repair shops can access the information, tools, and software they need to fix equipment * Redirect farm support subsidies to small producers, so that our farmers have a fair shot against massive national conglomerates#fyp
