FTCLDF levels the playing field, making it more difficult for the government to win wars of attrition that drag farmers through a series of administrative and judicial hearings; membership in the Fund enables them to spend their resources on farming instead of lawyers.
In addition to litigation and beyond day-to-day member services, the Fund's work includes advising on state and federal legislation (see HR 1830 update), as well as working on matters at the administrative level before federal and state agencies.
Emergency member services are available 24/7 through a hotline answering service. This benefit has been a legal lifeline to farmers, buying clubs and even for consumers facing government enforcement action.
Read a sampling of Fund testimonials and you can see why consumers are stepping up to support and defend farmers.
