Jamestown (NDFU)  – State and regional farm organizations, and hunger groups are coordinating the 2018 Rally for Agriculture, Wednesday Jun 27th, at 11-a.m., at the Red River Valley Fairgrounds, in West Fargo, to show support for agriculture amid ongoing issues with trade, ethanol, nutrition programs and the farm bill.

Farmers are encouraged to drive a tractor or bring a piece of equipment to the rally.

A Farmer’s Share lunch will be served at the rally. (Farmers currently earn less than 15 cents of every retail dollar spent on food – the lowest farm share since USDA began tracking the figure in 1993.)

Coordinating the event are the  North Dakota Farmers Union, North Dakota Dairy Coalition, Great Plains Food Bank, and Minnesota Farmers Union.
