As roughly 7.3 million students in rural school districts head back to school this fall, they remain largely unaware that the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Farm Bill) is due to expire on September 30, 2024 (Hartman et al., 2023). Enacted on December 20, 2018, and temporarily renewed in September 2023, this critical piece of legislation consistently has offered robust support to rural communities through various safety net measures, farm loans, conservation initiatives, and disaster assistance programs. As the September 30, 2024, deadline nears, people in rural communities should take action to push for the renewal of the Farm Bill and stay informed about possible changes. Although the Farm Bill is already a year overdue, this situation is a chance for involvement and advocacy, highlighting the urgent need for swift action from the U.S. Senate.
