Policies That Shape Idaho Agriculture
Agricultural policy — at both the state and federal level — directly affects the livelihoods of Idaho’s farmers and ranchers. From water allocation to land use regulations, from the Farm Bill to food safety standards, public policy shapes every aspect of agricultural life.
Idaho Farmers tracks, analyzes, and engages with the policy issues that matter most to Idaho’s agricultural community. We believe that effective agricultural policy should be developed with meaningful input from the people it affects most: the producers who work the land.
