Testimonial

“The ARA Fly-In creates far more than dialogue on Capitol Hill- it establishes the foundation for ongoing, productive relationships between ag retailers and the decision-makers in Congress. Strengthening trust between rural communities and Washington is essential to ARA’s advocacy mission,” -- Dave Spears, ARA’s Board Chair.

2026 Fly-In Recap

In 130 meetings with offices on both sides of the aisle in Congress, more than 120 ARA members and industry partners advocated for policies that preserve critical crop input supplies and precision ag technology, modernize transportation infrastructure, and support, not hinder, ag retailers in their role in maintaining a secure food supply chain.
