MODERN AG ALLIANCE RELEASES A REPORT ON UNPRECEDENTED PRESSURE FARMERS ARE FACING
Feb. 6, 2026
Agri-Pulse reports:
American farmers are facing unprecedented pressures according to a new report from the Modern Ag Alliance, which echoes recent warnings from ag leaders about a potential "collapse" of the U.S. agriculture industry.

Rising input prices, low commodity prices and regulatory uncertainty are causing a lack of confidence in the ag community, the report says. Six in 10 farmers, for example, "say that without a course correction, farming may 'cease to exist as we know it,' and only about half would recommend farming as a career to their children."
"This data shows that economic pressure and regulatory uncertainty are colliding on the farm," MAA Executive Director Elizabeth Burns-Thompson said in a news release.
"Policymakers need to understand what this means in real terms -- for farmers' ability to stay in business and for the affordability of America's food, fuel, and fiber."
MAA was founded by glyphosate manufacturer Bayer and now includes more than a hundred state commodity groups.
