🚜 How much of your grocery dollar actually goes back to the farmer?

The National Farmers Union’s Farmer’s Share shows the gap between what consumers pay at the grocery store and what farmers and ranchers receive for producing that food.

It’s a great reminder of just how small the producer’s share can be — even when food prices are high.

Take a look at the numbers and see where your food dollar goes. 👇

The latest stats on the share that farmers receive of every dollar that consumers spend on food.

We applaud the Senate Agriculture Committee's passage of mandatory COOL for beef.

08/03/2026

California Dairy Campaign and California Farmers Union strongly support mandatory country-of-origin labeling for beef. Today, a few meatpackers decide whether consumers know where their meat comes from. Mandatory COOL takes that power out of their hands and puts it back where it belongs with farmers and consumers.

Farmers need it, consumers want it, and Congress can pass it. Join us by going to nfu.org/take-action and tell your representatives to pass COOL now.

Mandatory country-of-origin labeling will support American beef farmers and give consumers clarity and confidence at the grocery store. We should all know where our beef comes from.

CalCAN is circulating this sign-on letter among dairy producers and agricultural organizations in support of the Alternative Manure Management Task Force and Permit Efficiency Bill, AB 2100 (Connolly), to ensure California’s dairies can implement and scale up practical alternative manure management strategies to achieve California’s climate and environmental goals. This legislation takes steps to improve state planning and support for these strategies and to address barriers to project approvals.
