For generations, America’s farmers have stood as a symbol of grit, independence, and the enduring spirit of our nation. They are the ones who rise before dawn, till the soil, plant the seeds, and harvest the bounty that feeds not only our families—but much of the world. They don’t ask for much—just the freedom to work their land, raise their families, and provide for their communities.
But today, that way of life is under attack.
In recent years, the American farmer has been targeted by a growing alliance of radical environmentalists, globalist elites, and out-of-touch bureaucrats who seem intent on transforming the agricultural backbone of our country into a tightly controlled, centrally planned system. The threat is real—and it’s growing.
Here’s what farmers are up against:
- Regulatory Overreach: From the EPA’s attempts to regulate every puddle under the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule, to draconian emissions standards and livestock restrictions, government agencies have made it harder than ever for farmers to do their jobs. These top-down mandates disregard both science and common sense—crippling small family farms while multinational corporations skirt accountability.
- Foreign Land Grabs: While American families struggle to hold onto generational farmland, hostile foreign interests—particularly the Chinese Communist Party—have been buying up American soil at an alarming rate. This is not just an economic concern—it’s a matter of national security. No foreign power should be allowed to control America’s food supply.
- Climate Alarmism: Radical climate activists, emboldened by international bodies and leftist policymakers, are pushing for sweeping changes to how land is used, what crops can be grown, and even how much livestock can be raised. In Europe, we’ve already seen governments force farmers off their land in the name of climate goals. Don’t think it can’t happen here—it’s already starting.
- Unfair Trade and Economic Pressures: From inflation and rising fuel costs to unfair foreign trade practices and the consolidation of agri-business giants, farmers are being squeezed from all sides. Meanwhile, government subsidies often reward corporate agriculture while leaving small and mid-sized operations behind.
At American Republic Policy, we say enough is enough.
We stand proudly with the men and women who feed this nation—and we are committed to fighting back through bold, America-first policy solutions that protect farmers, defend their rights, and secure the future of American agriculture.
Our priorities include:
- Protecting private property rights and banning foreign ownership of American farmland
- Rolling back excessive federal regulations that stifle innovation and punish small farmers
- Fighting ESG and climate-based land use restrictions that threaten rural communities
- Rebuilding America’s food independence by supporting local agriculture and resisting globalist pressure
- Empowering the next generation of farmers by investing in agricultural education, apprenticeships, and family farm succession
This is not just about farming—it’s about preserving a way of life rooted in freedom, responsibility, and stewardship. It’s about resisting centralized control and standing up for rural America, which has been ignored and betrayed for far too long.
We must not be silent.
If we want to save our farms, we must act now. Join us as we work to restore sanity to agricultural policy, push back against the radical left, and defend the God-given rights of those who feed our nation.
The future of farming in America depends on us.
