What does commitment to rural communities look like?

MN Rep. David Gottfried now knows it's about improving market and land access, especially for small- and medium-sized farmers. At SiX, we connect legislators with communities so they can hear their needs directly.

What happens when rural leaders lead?

At #FarmAid40, we facilitated a panel rooted in rural experience + local solutions w/IL Rep Sonya Harper, IA Rep @meganforiowa.bsky.social, Liz from the IL Stewardship Alliance, and Aaron from the IA Farmers Union.

A huge thanks to our panelists and attendees!
