Latest News About Nffc

Here are the latest updates I could verify about NFFC based on public press rooms and official channels:

• March 18, 2026: NFFC criticized USDA’s proposed 18-month delay for the Poultry Grower Payment Systems and Capital Improvement Systems Rule, which was finalized under the Packers and Stockyards Act in January 2025. The release frames the delay as harmful to contract farmers and calls for action. This indicates ongoing advocacy activity around farm policy and regulatory implementation.[1]

• February 26, 2026: NFFC reported on a fly-in where farmers and advocates urged Congress to address long-overdue farm policies, signaling continued lobbying and policy engagement at the federal level. This suggests active coordination with lawmakers and broad coalition-building during that period.[1]

• January 28, 2026: NFFC announced Tim Gibbons as the new Executive Director, marking a leadership transition as the organization celebrated its 40th anniversary. This highlights organizational stability and strategic leadership changes.[1]

If you’d like, I can pull more details from these releases (e.g., quotes, impact assessments, or related policy context) and summarize them in a concise briefing. I can also set up a quick follow-up to monitor for any new press releases or social posts from NFFC.
