**A new American Farm Bureau Market Intel Report says Chapter 12 farm bankruptcies increased for the second year in a row, reaching 315 filings in 2025, a 46% increase from 2024.
Filing for Chapter 12 bankruptcy is a last resort for farmers who have incurred large debts to continue operating with increased flexibility for payments.
USDA estimates that total farm debt will rise 5.2% to a record $624.7 billion this year.
**Trade with Mexico and Canada delivers significant economic benefits to rural communities across the U.S.
That’s according to new economic analysis released by the Agricultural Coalition for the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
Coalition members urged leaders of the three countries to renew and further strengthen USMCA as the agreement enters its formal review period.
Among the coalition’s findings, agricultural and seafood exports to Canada and Mexico generated $149 billion in total economic output.
