Legislative Action Center
NCFC's new campaign, "Farmer Co-ops: Providing for America", seeks to tell the tremedous success story of farmer cooperatives and the vital role they play in the food and agriculture sector. For over 100 years, co-ops have been the valued partner of farmers in every corner of the country; they have been a cornerstone of the rural economy; and they have provided American consumers with a wide range of innovative products.
In telling this story, NCFC needs the help of farmer co-ops and their members across the U.S. To assist you in becoming even better advocates for your co-ops, NCFC has posted this online toolkit with sample letters and talking points that you can use to communicate with Congress, USDA, the media or others. We will be adding materials to this site as the campaign continues.
