The Campaign for Family Farms and the Environment (CFFE) is a joint effort by Dakota Rural Action, Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, Land Stewardship Project, Missouri Rural Crisis Center, Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy and Food & Water Watch. Our organizations work together as CFFE to change policies that promote consolidation in animal agriculture at the expense of independent family farms. We appreciate the opportunity to offer comments on the interim final rule “Express Loan Programs: Affiliation Standards.”
