They point to several issues, like the growing number of farm bankruptcies. The Farm Bureau reports 216 farms filed for Chapter 12 Bankruptcy last year, which is a 55 percent jump from 2023. An even more alarming issue they say surrounds the threat of losing glyphosate. They say it has been under attack for some time now, but remains a critical tool for farmers.
