The National Young Farmers Coalition joins Willie Nelson, Founder and President of Farm Aid, and David Senter, President of the American Agriculture Movement, in releasing a solidarity letter to young farmers at a moment of emerging farm crisis. Disaster programs that were authorized by Congress at the end of 2024 have not been implemented and are desperately needed. Input costs remain stubbornly high and are increasing with new tariffs. Frozen USDA contracts mean family farmers are owed money for investments they've already made in their farms. In this new statement, Willie Nelson and David Senter reflect on the 1980s Farm Crisis and how it was "political organizing by farmers and those who support them, as well as legal strategy, that ended the period of intense hardship." The National Young Farmers Coalition joins the American Agriculture Movement and Farm Aid in standing with the farmers who are taking action in this...

Washington, DC - Today, Congressman Van Drew announced that following his direct engagement with the Department of the Interior, the Department of Commerce, and the Department of Justice, the Empire Wind project off the coasts of New Jersey and New York will be ordered to halt construction.
