Every minute, America loses more than an acre of farmland to urban sprawl and development.
Farmland is the heart of our nation and we must protect it. Do your part and Save an Acre of Farmland today.
Use our Action Center to contact your legislators and local government and let them know that you support farmland protection and a more sustainable future for our nation’s farms and food.
