July 2017

D E A R F R I E N D ,

In 2016, the deep divisions in America became all too clear. At times it felt like we were looking at a whole

new map of the U.S.—instead of states and counties, we saw other lines: political, racial, religious,

economic, rural, and urban.

From the beginning, my goal was to build NYFC on a foundation of inclusivity. Our coalition would

represent all young people striving to farm: women farmers, Native American farmers, black farmers,

white farmers, Latinx farmers, Hmong farmers, LGBTQ farmers and straight farmers, urban farmers,

rural farmers. NYFC would be a place where everyone was welcome and heard.

With this goal in mind, NYFC’s platform for change was built on cross-cutting issues that affect all

farmers, such as access to land and capital. But in looking at our coalition last January, we realized a

lot of folks hadn’t joined our fight.

Racial injustice permeates every part of U.S. society, including agriculture—from the history of the land

we work to the treatment of farmworkers, Native Americans, and farmers of color to this day. In 2016,

we learned that being inclusive means working not only on the challenges that unite, but also on the

pervasive injustices that divide.

In 2016, we published a statement on race and agriculture (reprinted on page 20); we built new

relationships with farmers of color; and we began to train our team and chapters to fight oppression.

We also partnered with Storyhorse Documentary Theater to produce Good Dirt, a play revealing diverse

and shared stories from the farm community.

These actions represent a shift for our coalition, one that has not and will not be easy. But we embrace

this challenge because we know it will strengthen all of our work, and because ultimately our mission—

to represent, mobilize, and engage young farmers to ensure their success—calls us to it.

With great pride, I share the progress we made on land, water, leadership, and inclusivity in 2016.

Thank you for your support, guidance, and friendship that made all of it possible.

Warmly,

Farm businesses can’t survive in a vacuum. That’s why NYFC members across the country

are forming local chapters to facilitate new friendships, farmer-to-farmer learning,

cooperation and advocacy. NYFC serves as a national hub for its chapters, supporting their

local efforts and engaging them in national policy campaigns.

In November, NYFC hosted our 2nd Annual National Leadership Convergence. The

Convergence, held in Encinitas, CA, brought together more than 60 emerging and

experienced farmer organizers and chapter leaders from 26 states for three days of

advocacy training and movement building. Chapter leaders weighed in on our farm bill

platform and learned from expert organizers. Most importantly, they realized that they

are contributing to a movement much larger than their individual farms or chapters.

I loved being at the

Convergence. It was a

great feeling to know other

farmers of color are at

the forefront of this food

movement. We need our

voices heard.”

Since moving to Minnesota from Zacatecas, Mexico, at the age of twelve, Eduardo has worked at Mississippi Market and Seward Community Co-op and has been involved with Latinx non-profit organizations doing community organizing and outreach. Currently Eduardo is the owner/farmer of Sin Fronteras Farm & Food. Sin Fronteras Farm & Food is the first farm to have a culturally appropriate Latinx CSA (Agricultura Apoyada Por La Comunindad). In the future Eduardo wants to focus on creating an incubator program for young farmers of color. He joined the board of NYFC in early 2017.

It’s never been more

important for young

farmers to have a voice in

Washington, D.C. At NYFC,

I get to help amplify that

voice every day. This is

the most important thing

While teaching at the University of Vermont’s farmer training program, Andrew Bahrenburg launched the Vermont Young Farmers Coalition and participated in our National Leadership Committee. After years working for Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04) in D.C. and for a Vermont state advocacy group, he joined NYFC’s team as National Policy Director. Andrew brings his passion for farming and intimate understanding of the challenges young farmers face to his work fighting for more supportive policies in D.C.

In 2016, NYFC strengthened its relationships with U.S. House and Senate offices by

holding more than 75 Hill meetings and by speaking at the White House Rural Forum

and the USDA’s national forums on land tenure. NYFC also hosted 13 in-district

meetings in 10 states where over 50 farmers shared their stories directly with their

congressional representatives.

NYFC worked closely with Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY) to introduce The Beginning

Farmers Agenda Act to the House in July 2016. This bill builds on our previous wins in the

2014 farm bill, and proposes legislative changes in three areas: access to land, access to

training and USDA credit programs, and investment in local and regional food systems.

This bill lays the groundwork for building an impactful policy platform ahead of the 2018

farm bill.

We also rallied a strong core of bipartisan support for the Young Farmer Success Act,

leading to its reintroduction in the House in early 2017. Originally introduced in the

House by Rep. Chris Gibson (R-NY-19) in 2015, the bill seeks to add farmers to the Public

Service Loan Forgiveness Program, providing a pathway to student debt relief and a

powerful incentive for young people to start and continue to farm. NYFC’s

#FarmingisPublicService campaign has received media coverage in more than

85 publications.

NYFC engages the land conservation community, provides training and resources to

farmers, and advocates for funding and policies that will increase farmland availability,

affordability, and access for beginning farmers.

Building on the past success of our National Land Access Innovations Trainings for

conservation professionals, in 2016 we partnered with Equity Trust, the Colorado

Coalition of Land Trusts, Heart of the Lakes, and others to offer regionally-specific

trainings in the Southwest and Midwest.

In addition to engaging the land conservation community, we provide resources to farmers

and ranchers to help them find affordable land access opportunities. In 2016, in partnership

with Guidestone Colorado, we held a two-day training for Southwestern farmers and

ranchers on how to work with land trusts to access affordable farmland.

On the national level, we worked closely with USDA administrators to ensure the

Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP), which provides funding for

farmland protection across the country, addresses the needs of the next generation

of farmers.

NYFC’s efforts to bring land trusts together to explore new and creative farmland

access ideas have been invaluable to our organization. The workshop that I attended

changed my way of thinking about affordability restrictions and ground leases.”

In February, we published Conservation Generation, a report based on a survey of

379 young farmers in the arid West and conversations with farmers from eight focus

groups. The report was accompanied by a short film, which has since been screened

at two film festivals.

In two whitepapers we identified state-level policy opportunities in Colorado and

New Mexico to support young farmers and water conservation. We also completed a

whitepaper outlining critical farm bill programs for the seven Western states of the

Colorado River Basin.

In September, we hosted the first of eight Water Bootcamps. Our Water Bootcamp series

convenes local experts to train young farmers and ranchers on state water law and

policy, and on water considerations when looking for land. The Bootcamps equip young

farmers and ranchers with the resources and information they need to enter roles of

water leadership.

young farmers and ranchers

from Colorado and New

Mexico wrote for our 2016

farmer blogger series

about their experiences

with water—from cleaning

a 400-year-old acequia

to navigating Western

water law and practicing

conservation.

Just because you’ve never worked with a shovel doesn’t

mean you can’t become a farmer. As I’ve said before,

‘Uno no nace sabiendo y todos se aprende’—we aren’t

born with all the knowledge we need; we all learn

as we go.”

All we can do as farmers in the arid Southwest is the

best we can. We conserve as much water as possible,

irrigate with the most efficient techniques, save seed to

increase drought tolerance in our crops, and we hope.”

The more conservation is looked at as an everyday

the better off we will all be in the long run.”

It is still a surprise to a lot of

people that we straight-up

don’t get enough precipitation

to grow most crops, so we are

reliant on the water that comes out of the

mountains from melting snow… Irrigation

infrastructure and delivery, the details of

the watershed, and the actual year that the

diversion right was first filed are some of

the most important things that a person

can know about their farm or ranch.”

These grants will enable us, over the next three years, to assist young farmers in

navigating central business challenges such as food safety regulations, FSA loan

programs, and land access.

We hired business services staff and began developing new resources, trainings, and

online tools, including a cooperatively farmer-owned software application to help farmers

solve fundamental marketing challenges, and an online Land Access Calculator to assist

in farmland financing decision-making.

What is NYFC’s role in showing up for racial justice?

20 21

R A C I A L E Q U I T Y

In 2016 numerous high-profile killings of

unarmed black men exposed to the nation

the persistence of violence against black

people in the U.S. As we processed shock,

anger, fear, and grief, NYFC released a

statement titled “Ending Violence Against

People of Color in Food and Farming.”

Violence in the food system is less obvious

than bullets. It takes many forms and has

deep historical roots in this country. It’s

diet-related disease; it’s food apartheid;

it’s dispossession of land and lack of land

ownership; it’s underrepresentation of

people of color in farm management

and ownership.

With our statement, we aimed to

acknowledge these injustices and lay out a

framework for how NYFC can be a part of

addressing them. Below is an excerpt. The

full statement is available on our website.

The contributions to agriculture made by

people of color in the United States are

immense. At its founding, this country’s

wealth was built on the agricultural labor

of black slaves. Latinos, Latino immigrants,

and other foreign-born farmworkers of

color currently undergird the U.S. food

system and produce the majority of the

food we eat. More than 60% of the world’s

food supply comes from crops originally

cultivated by Native American farmers.

Chicano farmers have led the charge for

farmworker rights and continue to be

leaders in grassroots farmer organizing.

African American farmers modeled today’s

intensive and profitable small farms fifty

years ago, and pioneered farmer

cooperatives and community land trusts.

And Hmong American farmers are now at

the forefront of popularizing local food in the

Midwest. However, the vital contributions

to agriculture by people of color go largely

unacknowledged within the dominant

narrative of farming in this country.

The core mission of the National Young

Farmers Coalition is to shift policies and

remove structural barriers to make it

possible for the next generation of farmers

and ranchers to succeed. We focus on core

issues such as land and capital, but we

have failed to address race—an issue that

may easily outrank any other for young

farmers of color. When we tell the story

of why our work matters, we frequently

reference the devastating pace of small

farm loss in this country, but rarely do we

discuss the systematic dispossession of

land from black farmers, and the lasting

impacts of that stolen inheritance for their

children and grandchildren. We don’t

discuss the lack of mobility for the millions

of Hispanic farmers who are now laboring

for others, nor the original violence against

Native Americans, who are now relegated

to a fraction of what was once their land.

The National Young Farmers Coalition

commits to giving voice to this shared

history and being a partner for change.

It’s important to have African

American farmers so that

communities of color have access

to a food system that they help

to create. African Americans have

played a huge role in agriculture

since the start of this great nation,

and the more African American

farmers we have the more we

can preserve our land and

our heritage.”

Thirty-eight percent of the U.S. population

is made up of people of color, but only 7% of

farm owners/operators are people of color.

This is a problem. If we are to achieve a

critical mass of farmers in this country, the

nation needs more people of color to enter

and succeed in agriculture. And if we don’t

create more paths for their leadership and

influence, we will never achieve a food

system that is truly just.

We envision our coalition as one made

up of all members of the agricultural

community, standing in solidarity and

raising our voices together in support

of the next generation of U.S. farmers.

The National Young Farmers Coalition

will include and advocate for farmers and

ranchers of all races, ethnicities, and

backgrounds; we will include and advocate

for farmworkers, apprentices, and other

farmers who don’t own land; and we will

include older, experienced, and retiring

farmers who are also major stakeholders

in the future of farming.

The National Young Farmers Coalition

commits to being part of this change,

and to working to ensure that all young

people have an opportunity to succeed

in agriculture.

As such, we will:

• Be accountable to communities of

color. We commit to partnering with

and being accountable to frontline

communities and grassroots organizations

led by people of color working for justice

in the food system.

• Defer to local knowledge and

expertise. We recognize and respect the

grounded understanding and knowledge

that is held within local communities,

especially communities of color. We

commit to honor that and to approach

collaboration from a space of humility.

• Tell the full story. We must correct and

expand the narratives and representations

of agriculture that are at the foundation

of our work, and acknowledge the diverse

histories and relationships to agriculture

that many people of color have. We will lift

up the voices and needs of farmers and

ranchers of color in our internal and public

communications.

• Recognize and promote leadership

in communities of color. We recognize

the powerful leadership and work that

farmers, gardeners, advocates and food

justice organizers of color contribute

towards a resilient food system and

community self-actualization.

• Act now for justice. We will work in

solidarity as a coalition to win political and

structural change to make farm and ranch

careers possible for more young people of

color. We commit to being transparent as

we set meaningful goals for this mission,

and to being resourceful to and supportive

of historically marginalized farmers and

their communities.

With these commitments, we will build

a country where any young person can

succeed in agriculture.

We hope that

you will stand

with us.
