As the voice of the agriculture retail and distribution industry in Washington D.C., the Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA) is making a difference every day for the ag retail/distribution industry nationwide. We are a national organization that assures the voices of all ag retailers and distributors are heard in the halls of Congress, and across the executive branches of government to ensure members an optimal business environment.  As the provider of fertilizer, chemicals, seed and services to America’s farmers, there are dozens of policy issues concerning our industry on a daily basis, and ARA is there while our fellow members are managing their businesses back home.

Our public policy team works on federal issues affecting the ag retail and distribution industry including: transportation, environmental, chemical security, immigration, tax & credit issues, and much more. ARA is about the future of the ag retail/distribution industry, its growth and its profitability.
