Message From The President
Welcome to our new website. It is our hope that you find this website more informative, resourceful and more aesthetically pleasing than our last. This past year was great for United Farmers USA, and we would like to make 2007 even better.
United Farmers USA is dedicated to helping the small farmer succeed, and this year is already off to a good start. We are continuing to help small farmers retain their land, improve the quality of their lives and assist them in becoming successful and profitable business persons. We have been educating small farmers in a variety of areas, as well as providing outreach and technical assistance. We have also been helping small-scale and limited resource farmers apply for financial and technical assistance available through the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
One goal we are looking forward to achieving this year is working more with the kids to pique their interest in the area of agriculture at a young age. United Farmers USA already works with adolescents educating them on careers in agriculture, land-grant institutions, and financial aid assistance available, including scholarships.
Our focus this year and beyond is to provide minority family farmers with the tools essential for the survival of the minority family farm. In today’s global agricultural economy, farm management, marketing assistance, debt restructuring, and alternative crop production are crucial to the success and survival of minority farmers. United Farmers USA will go above and beyond to ensure that the small farmer is successful in each of these areas.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you as National President of United Farmers USA.

With Kindest Regards,

Hezekiah Gibson
