Farm aid's mission is to build a vibrant, family farm-centered system of agriculture in america. It hosts an annual concert to celebrate farmers, eaters and artists coming together for change in america's farm and food system, and to inspire people to choose family farm food. Since 1985, farm aid has raised $50 million to support programs that help farmers thrive, expand the reach of the good food movement, take action to change the dominant system of industrial agriculture and promote food from family farms.

“Farm aid's conflict of interest policy applies to all board members and officers. It is monitored by the organization's operations director.”
“Farm aid methodically assesses and makes decisions on salary levels based on independent market rate compensation surveys produced by its payroll provider, a national leader in payroll management. Salaries are determined using the compensation analyses, and based on the 50th percentile of market rate for each position given farm aid's geographic location and line of work. Additionally, farm aid utilizes bureau of labor statistics data for annual cost of living salary increases, to be waived in the event of severe organizational financial difficulty, or in the event of a recent market rate adjustment. Expansion of job description is the determining factor in making other salary increases. The executive director makes all final salary determinations, except in the case of the executive director's salary, in which case, it is determined by the board of directors.”

REFERRALS PROVIDE IMMEDIATE SUPPORT TO FARM FAMILIES IN CRISIS AND FARMERS SEEKING TO TRANSITION TO MORE SUSTAINABLE FARMING PRACTICES, AS WELL AS FOR INDIVIDUALS LOOKING TO BECOME FARMERS. THERE WERE 455 CALLS AND EMAILS TO THE FARM AID HOTLINE IN 2016.FARM AID'S RESOURCE NETWORK (FARMAID.ORG/IDEAS) OFFERS AN INTERACTIVE WEBSITE AND DATABASE OF MORE THAN 800 ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE GUIDANCE FOR NEW FARMERS, DIRECT ASSISTANCE TO FARMERS IN CRISIS, AND SUPPORT FOR FARMERS LOOKING TO TRANSITION TO MORE SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION METHODS AND MARKETS. THROUGH THE FARMER RESOURCE NETWORK, FARM AID MAKES CONNECTIONS BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS, FARM SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS, AND BUSINESSES TO ADDRESS CHALLENGES AND CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FARMERS. FARM AID POINTS FARMERS AND ADVOCATES TO OUR MOST TRUSTED RESOURCES, NEW OFFERINGS AND TIMELY OPPORTUNITIES VIA OUR CURATED RESOURCE GUIDES AND THE RESOURCE SPOTLIGHT BLOG, WHICH RECEIVED MORE THAN 3,000 VISITS IN 2016. IN 2016, WE COMPLETED HOMEPLACE UNDER FIRE, OUR SHORT DOCUMENTARY FILM THAT TELLS THE STORY OF THE UNSEEN, GRASSROOTS WORK OF FARM ADVOCATES AND THEIR FIGHT TO KEEP FAMILY FARMERS ON THE LAND. ITS PREMIER TOOK PLACE ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2016, AT THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA). THE FILM PREMIER WAS FOLLOWED BY A PANEL OF FARM ADVOCATES AND USDA AND WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS THAT HIGHLIGHTED REACTIONS TO THE FILM. FOLLOWING THE PANEL, BREAKOUT SESSIONS WERE HELD ON DAIRY AND LIVESTOCK REFORM, ALLOWING THE FARMERS PRESENT TO SPEAK WITH FEDERAL ADMINISTRATORS ABOUT THEIR CURRENT CHALLENGES. IN JUNE, FARM AID INVITED KEY PRACTITIONERS AND STRATEGISTS TOGETHER FOR A MEETING IN LOUISVILLE, KY, TO CONSIDER THE CURRENT STATE OF OUR FARM ADVOCATES LINK. THE INTENSIVE GATHERING SOUGHT TO SET A PLAN FOR STABILIZATION THAT WOULD ESTABLISH A STRONG FOOTING TO INNOVATE AND EVOLVE THIS CRITICAL WORK TO MEET THE NEEDS OF A GROWING DIVERSITY OF FARMERS. THIS CONVERSATION IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AS SIGNS CONTINUE TO POINT TOWARD A LOOMING FARM CRISIS. PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS HAVE BEEN INSPIRED TO DEEPEN THEIR OWN FARM ADVOCATE SERVICES AND WORK TOGETHER TO HEIGHTEN AWARENESS OF THE EFFICIENCIES AND SYSTEMIC IMPACTS OF THIS UNDER-VALUED WORK.FARM AID AWARDED GRANTS TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT HELP FARMERS SECURE THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO BEGIN FARMING, ACCESS NEW MARKETS, GROW SUSTAINABLY, AND BUILD RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF FINANCIAL AND NATURAL DISASTERS. ADDITIONAL GRANTS WERE MADE TO SUPPORT FARMERS AFFECTED BY ECONOMIC AND WEATHER DISASTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING LOW DAIRY PRICES AND HISTORIC FLOODING IN WEST VIRGINIA. FARM AID ALSO FUNDED INDIVIDUAL FARMERS AND FARM ORGANIZATIONS TO COVER TRAVEL COSTS FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE USDA GATHERING PRIOR TO THE FARM AID CONCERT. |

FARM AID MADE GRANTS TO FAMILY FARM ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TO KEEP FAMILY FARMERS ON THE LAND AND STRENGTHEN LOCAL AND SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE. FARM AID'S FARMER LEADERSHIP FUND DEFRAYED EXPENSES FOR FARMER LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS, STRATEGY MEETINGS AND OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO ELEVATE THE VOICE OF FAMILY FARMERS. THE LEADERSHIP FUND HELPED COVER EXPENSES FOR FARMERS AND FARM ADVOCATES TO TRAVEL TO THE FOOD SOLUTIONS NEW ENGLAND SUMMIT; THE NATIONAL FARM TO CAFETERIA CONFERENCE; THE 5TH ANNUAL SOIL AND NUTRITION CONFERENCE; AND THE SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE AGRICULTURAL PROJECT FACTORY FARM SUMMIT.IN 2016, FARM AID DEVOTED SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES TO REVAMPING OUR ONLINE ACTION HUB, BUILDING OUR ONLINE CAPACITY FOR GRASSROOTS ADVOCACY AND DEVELOPING NEW TOOLS FOR GRASSROOTS ENGAGEMENT. WE ALSO EXPANDED THE MENU OF OFFERINGS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE - INCLUDING RESOURCES FOR PEOPLE TO BRING NATIONAL ISSUES CAMPAIGNS INTO THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES AND AN EXPANDING SET OF FACT SHEETS FOR PEOPLE TO DOWNLOAD AND PRINT. FARM AID CONTINUED IMPORTANT PARTNERSHIPS ON NATIONAL CAMPAIGNS AROUND GMO LABELING, FIGHTING THE TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP (TPP) TRADE DEAL, ADVANCING THE RIGHTS OF CONTRACT POULTRY GROWERS IN THE CHICKEN INDUSTRY, AND SUPPORTING FARM TO SCHOOL PROGRAMS NATIONWIDE. WE ALSO SUPPORTED KEY STATE CAMPAIGNS TO ADVANCE FAMILY FARM AGRICULTURE IN NORTH DAKOTA AND MISSOURI. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, FARM AID BROUGHT FORWARD OPPORTUNITIES FOR FARMERS AND EATERS TO INFLUENCE PUBLIC POLICY IN SUPPORT OF GMO LABELING, THE CHILD NUTRITION ACT AND FARM TO SCHOOL PROGRAMS, AND ANTITRUST ENFORCEMENT IN THE LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY. OUR IMPROVED ACTION CENTER EARNED US OUR MOST PARTICIPATORY ACTION YET, WITH NEARLY 13,000 TAKING ACTION ON THE DARK (DENY AMERICANS THE RIGHT TO KNOW) ACT ON GMO LABELING.FOR YEARS, FARM AID HAS FOUGHT FOR ANTITRUST ENFORCEMENT AND PROTECTIONS FOR FARMERS FACING CORPORATE ABUSE IN THE LIVESTOCK SECTOR. FOLLOWING SUBSTANTIAL WORK IN 2014 AND 2015 TO BRING AWARENESS TO ABUSES ENDURED BY FARMERS IN THE CONTRACT POULTRY SYSTEM, WE WERE ELATED WHEN THE USDA OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED THE "FARMER FAIR PRACTICE RULES" ON DECEMBER 14. THESE RULES TARGET THE MOST HARMFUL CORPORATE PRACTICES HURTING FARMERS AND CLEARLY OUTLINE COMMON SENSE PROTECTIONS TO RESTORE FAIRNESS TO THE POULTRY INDUSTRY AND REDUCE THE BURDEN FOR FARMERS SEEKING JUSTICE UNDER THE PACKERS AND STOCKYARDS ACT. THIS IS A HUGE WIN IN A FIGHT THAT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR YEARS. BUT THE RULES WILL NO DOUBT COME UNDER ATTACK BY CORPORATE INTERESTS, AND THERE IS MUCH TO BE DECIDED REGARDING HOW THE PRO-FARMER COMMUNITY KEEPS THE PRESSURE ON. FARM AID CONTINUES TO SERVE AS A LEADER AND CONTRIBUTING MEMBER OF VARIOUS COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS TO CHANGE OUR FARM AND FOOD SYSTEM AND ADVANCE THE POWER AND PARTICIPATION OF FARMERS IN THESE EFFORTS. THESE HAVE INCLUDED EFFORTS TO ADDRESS ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL INJUSTICES ACROSS ANIMAL AGRICULTURE, EFFORTS TO ELEVATE ON-THE-GROUND SOLUTIONS TO CLIMATE CHANGE, AND EFFORTS TO REBUILD THE SUPPLY OF NON-GMO FOOD INGREDIENTS AND ANIMAL FEED IN THE UNITED STATESFARM AID ALSO CONTINUES TO INCREASE ITS LEADERSHIP IN THE PHILANTHROPIC COMMUNITY TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE VARIED CHALLENGES FACED BY FAMILY FARMERS AND TO ENCOURAGE COLLABORATION AND COLLECTIVE PROBLEM SOLVING. FARM AID DEVELOPED AND FACILITATED WORKSHOPS ON THE VALUE OF INDIVIDUAL FARM ADVOCACY AT BOTH THE SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SYSTEMS FUNDERS (SAFSF) FORUM AND ENVIRONMENTAL GRANTMAKERS ASSOCIATION (EGA) RETREAT THIS YEAR. BOTH WORKSHOPS RECEIVED POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND HAVE LED TO ONGOING DIALOGUE IN THE FUNDING COMMUNITY ABOUT HOW TO BETTER SUPPORT THIS CRITICAL WORK. |
