Family Dairy Farmers Coalition

The Fight for Fairness in Dairy Trade

Across North America, family dairy farmers are the backbone of our communities. They wake up early, work hard, and provide the fresh, high-quality milk and dairy products we all depend on.

But right now, unfair trade practices are putting family farms at risk—hurting the families who work the land, care for their cows, and preserve a way of life generations in the making.

The Family Dairy Farmers Coalition was created to push back.

We believe in open markets, honest competition, and the shared values that tie farming families together. We stand for the freedom to trade, the freedom to farm, and the freedom to compete on a level playing field.

Family Farms: Fueling the U.S. Economy

Family farms aren’t just part of America’s heritage — they’re a critical force in our economy and food system. Here’s how:

98% of U.S. farms are family-owned
According to the USDA, nearly all U.S. farms are family farms — from small dairy operations to large-scale producers.
$1.4 trillion in total economic impact
Agriculture, food, and related industries contribute over $1.4 trillion to the U.S. GDP, with family farms playing a central role.
Over 21 million American jobs
Farming and related industries support more than 21 million jobs — that’s roughly 1 in 10 U.S. jobs.
Stabilizing food prices
Family farms help maintain a steady domestic food supply, reducing reliance on imports and keeping grocery bills more predictable for consumers.
Driving innovation and sustainability
Today’s family farmers invest in regenerative practices, responsible animal care, and local ecosystems to preserve resources for future generations.
Supporting rural economies
Family farms are often the economic backbone of rural communities, generating income, local tax revenue, and long-term stability.

When we support family farms, we’re not just protecting a way of life — we’re fueling economic growth, food security, and a stronger America.

Take the Pledge

Stand with Family Dairy Farmers.

By signing below, I pledge to support:

Protecting small family-run farms from unfair costs and market restrictions
Lowering grocery prices by keeping dairy supply chains open and competitive
Defending the future of family farming from policies that punish instead of protect

Because food should never be a political weapon — and family farms should never be collateral damage.
