Farmers' Legal Action Group, Inc. (FLAG) is a nonprofit law center dedicated to providing legal services to family farmers and their rural communities in order to help keep family farmers on the land.

America needs an agriculture that supports healthy rural communities, protects the environment, and promotes a safe, diverse, and stable food supply. To achieve these goals, America needs a healthy family farm-based system of agriculture. Targeted, top-notch legal information and advocacy are indispensable in the struggle to defend family-based agriculture and secure social and economic justice for farmers. FLAG exists to provide those legal services.

"We need decent people in office and in corporations, but we need at the same time to check them if they don't comply with the rules. And that's what you've done, time and time again. FLAG lawyers have been seen in courts, before administrative bodies, before federal institutions, before the Congress, arguing the case for justice for rural families. I applaud you."

~ Former Vice President
Walter F. Mondale
