AAW Policy Bites: Where we share our policies in bite-sized portions—clear and simple. Water Rights & Resource Management Water is one of agriculture’s most valuable resources. AAW supports policies that protect farmers' access to water while ensuring responsible conservation practices that sustain future agricultural productivity. Our Position: AAW believes agriculture should always be considered the highest and best use when determining water allocation. We oppose federal overreach that limits farmers’ ability to manage their own water resources. Why It Matters: A secure water supply is critical to food production and rural economies. Restrictive regulations that fail to account for agricultural needs threaten the viability of farms and ranches across the country. Policy Reference:?2024 AAW Policy Positions, pages 29-30. https://buff.ly/PQg8hzw To learn more about American Agri-Women, connect with members, and discover how you can join and make a difference, visit https://buff.ly/wU1ymtR?or reach out to us today!

Today is National Ag Law Education Day! Agriculture runs on more than just soil and sunshine—it depends on strong ag policy and fair laws that protect farmers, ranchers, and rural communities. From land use and water rights to trade and property laws, ag law shapes the future of American agriculture. That’s why organizations like American Agri-Women advocate for policies that keep our farms thriving. Today, we recognize the importance of ag law education and the leaders working to ensure a strong future for agriculture! #AgLawEducationDay #AgPolicyMatters #WomenInAg #AgWomenUnite #Farm365

AAW Policy Bites: Where we share our policies in bite-sized portions—clear and simple. Rural Infrastructure & Broadband: Reliable infrastructure is the backbone of rural communities. From modernizing roads and bridges to ensuring high-speed internet access, AAW believes that investing in rural infrastructure is critical to keeping farms and agribusinesses competitive. Our Position: AAW supports targeted federal resources to expand broadband access in rural areas and modernize transportation infrastructure, including roads, rail, and waterways that are vital to agriculture. Why It Matters: Without high-speed internet, rural businesses struggle to access markets, implement precision agriculture, and connect with suppliers and consumers. Likewise, outdated transportation systems increase costs and slow down the delivery of goods. Policy Reference: 2024 AAW Policy Positions, pages 9-10. https://buff.ly/3g3sIh8 How has infrastructure impacted your operation? Let’s discuss! ?? Looking for Your People? Join Us at Mid-Year!

In its short lifespan, a worker bee can fly a distance equivalent to one and a half times around the Earth. ??
