Farm Aid wants to hear from farmers!

America's farmers and ranchers have faced a year unlike any other, with a roller coaster of changing tariff and trade policies along with drastic cuts to federal funding and programs. Farm Aid wants to hear from farmers about what they're experiencing right now. We'll use these stories to stand with and speak up for the farmers and rural communities.

Your responses to the questions below will not be shared with outside parties and will remain anonymous.

To strengthen our efforts, we ask for your help. Please fill out this survey if:

• You are in financial distress because of rising costs of production, lost markets or other economic factors
• You have struggled to access federal services because staff members providing the services were let go or the program was cancelled
• You are anticipating increased healthcare costs in 2026 or lost SNAP benefits
• Experienced a disaster on your operation and are struggling to recover

Your stories are invaluable—they help us call attention to the challenges that farmers, ranchers and rural communities are facing and make the case for the urgent need to find solutions.

If you are a farmer in immediate need, please call our hotline at 1-800-FARM-AID or fill out this form. Our hotline team is here to listen to what you are going through and connect you with resources that may be helpful.
