The Center for Rural Affairs performs for rural America in on-the-ground entrepreneurial support and training, and in driving policy reform and legislation to support farm families. The Center is the source of specific state laws that provide model support systems to foster rural micro-enterprise, and has been a tireless and effective voice of conscience for reforming agricultural policy to support independent farms. The Center's leadership in opposing corporate-control of agriculture is precedent setting.
