Become a more effective advocate during several upcoming Montana Farmers Union's Legislative Advocacy Training for Farmers and Ranchers workshops. The free, public advocacy trainings are being offered across the state by MFU, a grassroots, non-partisan organization, with upcoming sessions planned:

Attendees at the events can expect hands-on activities to hone advocacy skills. Participants also will have the opportunity to share their priorities and how depressed commodity markets, consolidation, the lack of a reauthorized Farm Bill, and other policies impact their farms and ranches with current lawmakers and candidates.
During the events, attendees will:
- share their legislative priorities ahead of the 2027 Montana Legislature,
- meet lawmakers, county commissioners, and candidates,
- learn how to use the state's legislative website,
- practice calling legislators,
- write a draft Letter to the Editor
- learn how to become involved in MFU's legislative efforts on behalf of family farmers and ranchers.
