The American Farm Resilience and Renewal Plan

Farmers and Farmhands working full-time and earning under 50k annually qualify for Medicaid

- Gradual Phase-Out benefits from 50k to 75k
- Rural clinics receive grants to prioritize mobile care units, preventative care, and mental health services tailored to agricultural communities
- Solidifies American Farmhand employment year over year

Expand the domestic beef herd, reduce dependence on foreign imports, stabilize feed grain markets, and make beef more affordable for consumers.

-Set aside 14 Million acres designated for cattle expansion to target an additional 3 Million head of cattle each year.
- Expected stabilization of corn (-1.2B bu) and soybean (-350M bu) markets by redirecting feed usage domestically.
- Clear labeling for “American-Raised Beef” to help consumers choose domestic products.
- Stricter inspection standards for imported beef to ensure fair competition

Rebuild local farming knowledge networks, reduce rural isolation, and create accessible paths for new and young farmers.

- Young Farmer Training Grants: Funding for local universities, FFA chapters, and extension offices to teach regenerative agriculture, agribusiness, urban agriculture, and sustainable practices.

- Community Co-Op Program: Support for cooperative grain elevators, shared equipment leasing, and cold-storage systems to reduce costs and strengthen small-farm resilience.

- Mentorship Network: Incentivize experienced farmers to mentor new entrants through annual tax credits and USDA partnerships.

- Local Food Infrastructure: Expand farmers’ markets, farm-to-school programs, and local supply chains to keep profits within rural communities.

Work to strengthen small and family farms against economic shocks, weather disasters, and market and demand volatility.

- Creates a national safety net to issue rapid-response relief payments for farms hit by droughts, floods, or trade disruptions.
- Allow small farms to refinance high-interest agricultural loans through the USDA at reduced rates.
- Encourage mixed-crop systems, on-farm renewable energy, and agro-tourism to build secondary income streams.
- Tailor programs for diversified or specialty crop producers who are often left out of traditional insurance models.

Strengthen transparency, rebuild consumer trust, and restore fairness for American ranchers

- Country-of-Origin Labeling (COOL): Reinstate clear, WTO-compliant “Born, Raised & Processed in the U.S.A.” labels to reward U.S. producers and inform consumers.

- Fair Market Rules: Require accurate labeling on imported beef to stop foreign products from posing as American.

- Traceability Support: Provide grants and tools for small processors to meet WTO standards without high compliance costs.

Empower local processors to expand market access and strengthen American food security.

- Allow states to permit intrastate meat sales from custom-exempt processors, increasing options for farmers and consumers.
- Support reopening and expansion of small, community-based meat facilities to reduce bottlenecks and shorten supply chains.
- Enable direct farm-to-consumer, restaurant, and retailer sales without forcing small producers through costly federal inspection systems or provide inspectors free-of-charge

Restores farmers’ rights to save and use seeds while defending against predatory practices by balancing patent protections with agricultural independence.

- Farmers operating under a set acreage or income level may use saved seed for personal production without additional licensing fees.

- Prohibits companies from suing farmers when patented genetic material spreads through wind-pollination or environmental drift.

- Creates Seed Access Fund to help small growers purchase diverse, regionally adapted seeds by supports public plant-breeding programs

Prevents dominant agribusiness middlemen and processors from using market power to overcharge consumers while underpaying farmers.

- Establish a farmer share floor of 20%–35% of final retail price, adjusted by product type, ensuring producers receive a fair portion of the consumer food dollar.

- Allow civil penalties and corrective market actions against companies found to be artificially suppressing producer payments or inflating consumer prices.

- Authorize USDA and the FTC to investigate excessive pricing disparities between farm-gate, wholesale, and retail markets in highly concentrated agricultural sectors.

Requires dominant agricultural processors, packers, distributors, and input suppliers to publicly report pricing data so farmers and consumers can see where money is being captured in the supply chain.

- Require quarterly reporting of farm-gate prices, wholesale prices, retail prices, processing costs, and profit margins.

- Require dominant processors, distributors, and retailers to publicly disclose the average percentage of every consumer food dollar returned to farmers and producers.

- Give USDA and the FTC authority to audit reports, investigate manipulation, and publish farmer-friendly market data.
