Huge thanks to the 100s of TN Farmers that participated in this survey! It's extremely important that policymakers get an accurate picture of what farmers are actually facing.
A nationwide survey conducted by the @FarmBureau reveals the real impact of fertilizer availability and price. In the South, numbers are especially alarming with only 19% of farmers having fertilizer pre-booked and 78% saying they can’t afford all the fertilizer needed for the year.

"We've just got to be engaged.” “The vast majority of producers across the U.S. have absolutely no idea that this is even going on.” “We need to let our voice be heard. We can do that through our trade associations." -TN Soybean Association member, ASA Director, Alan Meadows. – at Jackson, TN
ASA Director Alan Meadows (TN) spoke with @OfficialRFDTV on EPA's new #herbicide strategy proposal, the ag implications, and what the producers are looking for from voicing their disapproval. Watch here: ow.ly/oYTX50Q0IN4 #AgPolicy #USSOY

Congress cannot allow federal regulators to have the authority they have today if they’re going to use it to burden small businesses and farms with new rules at every corner.
Proud to be part of awesome appreciation event this evening celebrating farmers in Benton Co. Great programming about resources available related to health and mental well-being.
Thanks to sponsors @TNFarmBureau & @FBITN of Benton Co, @utextension , United Farm & Home Co-Op
