Protect the Harvest will cease operating on October 31st, citing funding challenges that began during COVID.
The organization was created in 2011 as a non-profit educational and advocacy effort to promote and defend American farmers and ranchers, improve food security, protect property rights, ensure animal welfare, and support outdoor sports.
Protect the Harvest has kept many people safe from a myriad of threats.
“The current economy has made it challenging for many individuals and organizations that have supported us in the past,” says Mike Siemens, Protect the Harvest Executive Director. “It’s been frustrating and disappointing to see the number of issues we confront multiply while our resources to address them have been diminished.”
He also says it’s even more heartbreaking because they still hear from many stakeholders about how much they value Protect the Harvest and the work they do.
“Other organizations will have to fill in,” he said.
