7 Reasons Saving Farmland in 2018 is More Important Than Ever

In the 2018 approach, there is nothing but to think about working at the American Farmland Trust. We promise that family-run farmers across the country will help protect and protect their land. In fact, 97% of farms in the United States are run by family management. This means that it supports most agriculture in the United States.

The American Farmland Trust wishes that all farmers have resources and on-site support to cope with difficult tasks for the New Year.

As the year approaches to the end, I would like to ask you to resolve to protect more farmlands from development and to allow more family farmers to stay on their lands by 2018 think.

Every day, our country loses over 40 acres of agricultural land for development and urban expansion.

More than 90% of the fruits and nearly 80% of the vegetables are grown on the path of the developer's bulldozers, the farmland closest to our city.

The average age of American farmers is nearly 60 years old. The nationwide AFT program is helping next-generation farmers get affordable land

According to the AFT survey, protection of farmland is one of the best ways to help mitigate the impact of climate change.

You can win. You have helped protect the agricultural land over 5 million acres that will never be permanently placed in a mall, subdivision area, highway or parking lot.

AFT employees expertise and reputation to stop bulldozers, to support family managers in state capitals and parliaments, to provide expertise to family managers who need our guidance and direct assistance I have.

Finally, as you donate to the AFT, you are helping to ensure that American farmland continues to feed our country for future generations.

Family farmers need the help of AFT. In order to succeed, we need your support next year. Let us save and maintain our land!

Caring for and protecting farmland is essential for cultivating an increasing population.

NRCS helps landowners reduce soil erosion, increase water supply, improve water quality, increase wildlife habitat and reduce damage from floods and other natural disasters.

In this process, humans need agricultural land, housing and industry.
