Texas farmers and ranchers are under extreme economic pressure. Record‑high input costs, low commodity prices, inflation, and extreme weather events have pushed many operations to the edge. For several years, negative margins have become common across Texas agriculture, contributing to nationwide losses approaching $100 billion. These challenges have left producers uncertain about their ability to stay in business.

With the Farm Bill delay and One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) Act results not expected until October, producers face a long wait before meaningful program benefits arrive. The recent Farmer Bridge Assistance (FBA) Program is greatly appreciated and necessary. However, more must be done.

This is not just a farm issue—it is a national food security issue. Across Texas, families are struggling to secure financing for their next crop, and many are financially underwater. Each farm lost weakens rural communities, eliminates jobs, and increases reliance on foreign supply chains for food and fiber.

WHAT CONGRESS MUST DO NOW:

• Provide additional and immediate economic assistance.

• Stabilize the farm economy, so producers can secure financing and plant their next crop.

• Support rural communities and protect America’s food supply.

• Deliver relief robust enough to better match the scale of losses facing agriculture.

It is extremely important for each person reading this message to call your U.S. Senators and Congressional Representatives TODAY and ask them to provide meaningful economic assistance to help Texas farmers and ranchers weather this crisis and continue feeding the nation!
