Share Your Student Loan Story to Help Pass Loan Forgiveness for Farmers

The National Young Farmers Coalition wants loan forgiveness for career farmers, and they need your help to do it. Here’s what they have to say: “Right now, we’re building a campaign to tackle the issue of student debt and we need your help. We are working with Congressional offices to put together legislation that would authorize loan forgiveness for career farmers in the next Higher Education Act and we need stories to illustrate the problem. We have already heard from farmers that have had to defer starting a farm, buying land, or having a family to make student loan payments. But there are still many more stories to tell! If you are struggling with student loan payments while farming, please take this survey and share it widely with your networks. Putting together a bill in Congress is tough and we need your voices.” Here’s the full post: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/StudentLoanStories
