Lots of good suggestions here. The one that hits me most is access to private land. I admit that this is a completely personal one.

I live in a town and don't know any farmers. I just have to go door knocking and ask. Many are cool, but I get a wee bit frustrated when I get turned down, or see the "No Hunting" posted signs. I smile politely and leave of course, saying nothing, but I have to admit that inside I'm often thinking "So you will take my tax money in subsidies, support programs, disaster relief programs, programs to cover losses from animals eating your crops or predators eating your calves, all the governement money my business would never have a hope in hell of getting, but you won't stoop to let me on your land once in a while. Thanks a lot". Now I KNOW in lots of cases there may be other reasons for what happens, I KNOW most farmers are great. I just think perhaps a few farmers could think about the people that happily support them and give a little back.
