This morning, @TransportDems and @TransportGOP will begin markup of the BUILD America 250 Act. America’s farmer co-ops rely on the nation’s transportation network every day, and this bill makes meaningful progress toward modernizing it through improvements to agricultural equipment, driver regulations, and rural road funding.

NCFC CEO Duane Simpson and @NGFA CEO Mike Seyfert talk about the impact of the Middle East conflict on producers in this week's @agripulse Newsmakers episode.

As #NationalAgWeek wraps up, one thing is clear: farmer co-ops are essential to America's rural prosperity — and we're just getting started. Thank you to every farmer, member, and community that makes it happen. 🙏🌱 #FarmerCoops #AgCommunity #RuralProsperity #CoopStrong

Some of the most trusted food brands on your grocery shelves? Farmer-owned. Co-ops keep value with producers — not Wall Street. 🛒🌽 #FoodBrands #CoopValues#FarmerCoops

Farmer co-ops support 250,000+ U.S. jobs and pump billions into rural economies every year. That's not a handout — it's local ownership at work. 💪 #RuralEconomy #RuralJobs #FarmerCoops

Happy #AgDay26! 🌾 America's food doesn't grow itself — it's built by hardworking farmers and the cooperatives that give them real market power. All this week, @FarmerCoops celebrates the people who feed us all. #FarmerCoops #AgDay26

#AgExports #AgPolicy #AgTrade #FoodPolicyBig opportunities ahead for U.S. ag exports. NCFC President & CEO Duane Simpson took the stage at the @agripulse Ag & Food Policy Summit to break down the risks and rewards of expanding into new markets — and says the trade agreement with Indonesia is one to watch for co-ops and their members.

NCFC Statement on House Farm Bill Markup “Completion of the House Agriculture Committee’s farm bill markup is an important step toward delivering the certainty and stability America’s farmers and their co-ops need. With producers facing a challenging farm economy and continued market volatility, a new farm bill is long overdue." Read the full statement at ow.ly/8E3I50YpFGN

@HouseAgGOP just adopted Amendment 1 to the farm bill, which will expand farmer co-op access to the REAP program, a major ask for co-ops in this farm bill. Special thanks to @RepDustyJohnson for his leadership on this issue and offering this amendment!

The gavel drops at 5PM ET; watch with us here: ow.ly/S6CC50Yo25k A new farm bill is long overdue. America’s farmers and cooperatives need certainty—on risk management, tax policy, trade, and rural infrastructure. Let’s get this across the finish line. #FarmBill2026 #Coops

Farmer co-ops help producers manage risk, access markets, and compete globally. A strong farm bill should reinforce that model—supporting rural jobs, supply chains, and producer-owned businesses nationwide. #Coops #RuralAmerica

Tomorrow at 5PM ET, the @HouseAgGOP begins markup of a new farm bill. For farmer cooperatives, this is a critical step toward restoring certainty in farm policy and strengthening the rural economy. Join us in watching the markup tomorrow afternoon at ow.ly/gmap50Yo22s. #FarmBill #AgPolicy

An important reminder that farmers and their co-ops need the farm bill done now--it's long overdue!

Input costs for corn, soybeans, wheat & more are already projected to hit record highs in 2026. Following #SCOTUS striking down IEEPA tariffs, NCFC urges the Administration to exempt key ag inputs from new 10% tariffs and keep costs down for farmers. Farmers need relief—not more uncertainty.

Next week, the House Agriculture Committee is expected to take up the farm bill. Farmer co-ops will be watching closely — and working to ensure the final bill strengthens tools that help producers compete, innovate, and feed the world. #FarmBill #AgPolicy

The farm bill is about more than farms. It’s about helping ensure the future of the rural communities where farmer co-ops and their members operate. When co-ops are strong, rural communities are stronger. Congress should keep that in focus as markup approaches. #RuralAmerica #FarmerCoops

Margins are tight. Input costs remain high. Volatility hasn’t gone away. That’s why the farm bill’s safety net and risk management tools matter — they help farmers and the co-ops that support them stay viable through uncertainty. #FarmEconomy #FarmBill

Farmer co-ops connect producers to markets, inputs, financing, and infrastructure — but they need stable policy to do it. A strong farm bill helps co-ops keep delivering value to their member-owners and rural communities. #FarmBill #CoopsBuildRuralAmerica #AgPolicy

Farm policy isn’t abstract — it’s the operating framework that helps farmer co-ops deliver certainty in uncertain times. The farm bill supports risk management, rural investment, and tools producers rely on to plan ahead. @HouseAgGOP has a chance to move it forward next week. We urge our followers to thank @CongressmanGT for his leadership and dedication to America's farmers and ranchers. #FarmBill #FarmerCoops #AgPolicy
