Farmers are at a Breaking Point

Farmers across America are nearing a breaking point as the demands of modern agriculture grow heavier by the year. The cost of everything—from equipment and fuel to fertilizer and land—continues to climb, while new regulations add layers of complexity and compliance burdens to already full days. While technology is essential, it requires major investments just to keep up, and the financial risks tied to unpredictable markets and extreme weather make every season feel like a gamble. Despite all of this, profit margins remain razor-thin.

Farmers are being asked to produce more, navigate more, and withstand more—yet they’re earning less. It’s a level of pressure that’s simply unsustainable for the people who feed, fuel, and clothe our communities.
