Although it's been a rainy spring, we can see summer is on the way. We've been waiting for fields and lawns to dry up and sunny days to bloom those flowers and grow the wheat or broccoli. It's been a very challenging year for many, but we're on this journey together. We're excited to spend summer with you, and look forward to sharing how our work, and the work of our partners, might reach and support you in the coming weeks and months below.

A hearty "THANKS!" to all of you who attended our first spring breakfast & social earlier this month. When our work brings us great distances across the countryside (and the virtual world here on the web!), it's always fun to see familiar faces and share a meal. It was such a hit, we'll definitely do it again, and you'll be the first to know!

The heat of summer has settled upon us. Some plants are thriving, some are bolting in distress, and you can say the same about some of the neighbors! One thing ties all of our communities together - rural, urban, and suburban - and that's how we use our natural resources, including agricultural land and the policies that affect it. It's been a roller coaster of a farm bill year already, but there are definitely highlights of hope. Check out NSAC's latest post on how the just-passed Senate's version of the Farm Bill aligns with many of the priorities of family farmers and sustainable agriculture.
