This time of year, Santa isn’t the only one burning the midnight oil…

While he’s out there working long hours and sometimes through the night to make Christmas magic happen, there’s another group doing the same thing all year long... our farmers.

When the weather turns, when animals need care, when crops won’t wait, farmers put in the hours... Early mornings, late nights, and everything in between.
No sleigh, no elves… just grit, dedication, and a love for the land.

So this Christmas season, let’s give a little extra appreciation to the people who keep our tables full and our communities strong.

Thank you, farmers — you put in Santa-level effort all year long.

Whole milk in school lunches?
It could be a reality again, thanks to the Senate passing the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act. Kids may soon get the same rich, nutritious milk many of them drink at home. A win for dairy lovers, farms, and our future generations.

End the year on a high note and set yourself up for a better one! Smart, regular record-keeping can turn chaos into clarity on the farm: track receipts, log expenses, scan paperwork, and do mini checkups before the year ends. So taxes, planning, and future seasons get a whole lot easier.

Big news for U.S. agriculture!

The White House just unveiled a $12 billion aid package to support farmers hit hard by the trade war with China. Up to $11 B will go to row-crop producers, while the rest helps other growers weather the storm.

Feeding reindeer, prepping the sleigh, and keeping everything running, just like every good farmer does.

The shutdown of the big beef-processing plant in Lexington, Nebraska, a facility capable of slaughtering ~5,000 head of cattle daily, isn’t just bad news for the local community (3,200 people employed, nearly one-third of the town). It may also seriously undermine ranchers’ profits across the country.

📉 Why it matters:
The closure (plus cutbacks at another plant in Texas) will reduce U.S. beef-processing capacity by 7-9%.

With fewer buyers and rising competition — including increased imports — many U.S. ranchers may struggle to get fair prices for their cattle.

As a result, ranchers may be less likely to expand herds or make long-term investments.

🌐 What it means for the beef industry:
This isn’t just a hometown problem, plant closures ripple throughout the supply chain, affecting producers, regulators, and consumers alike. Supply tightening could push costs up and put financial pressure on U.S. ranchers.
