The U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance (USFRA) marks a major milestone in it’s work to lead consumer dialogue on how food is grown in America.  October represents five years since the 20 initial organizations joined together to make a shared vision into a reality.

To visually highlight this historic occasion USFRA also released a birthday event graphic that illustrates several major milestones the organization has made in the past five years. These accomplishments include launching their “Food Dialogues” website, providing factual research to impact and change food conversations, introducing the “Faces of Farming” spokespersons, and the release of the publicly-acclaimed movie “Farmland.”

“USFRA’s 5th birthday is symbolic for farmers and ranchers nationwide since we all can share a sense of pride and accomplishment we’ve made in the past five years in influencing the diverse dialogue from the farmer and rancher perspective about how food is produced and reaches American consumers,” noted Nancy Kavazanjian, Chairwoman of USFRA.

“USFRA has received tremendous support from the agricultural community right from the start and we would not be where we are today without our 90 affiliates and industry partners,” said USFRA CEO Randy Krotz, adding “we are grateful and lucky to have a dedicated Board, committee members, affiliates and industry partners who are vitally committed to USFRA’s mission and provide valuable time, knowledge and resources to help us succeed.”
