In the United States, a farm-to-market road or ranch-to-market road (sometimes farm road or ranch road for short) is a state road or county road that connects rural or agricultural areas to market towns. These are better quality roads, usually a highway, that farmers and ranchers use to transport products to market towns or distribution centers.
Specifically, in the state of Texas, the terms Farm to Market Road and Ranch to Market Road indicate roadways that are part of the state's system of secondary and connecting routes, built and maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Texas established this system in 1949 to improve access to rural areas. The system consists primarily of paved, two-lane roads, though some segments are freeways, including a segment of FM 1764 (the Emmett F. Lowry Expressway between Interstate 45 and Texas City, Texas).
These roads are signed with route markers that contain the words FARM ROAD or RANCH ROAD, but the formal name is Farm to Market Road and Ranch to Market Road (hence the abbreviation "FM" and "RM" on signs). The only road that explicitly uses the name Ranch Road is Ranch Road 1, which runs near the former ranch home of former President Lyndon B. Johnson.

At the 2014 Feed the Future Global Forum participants heard three presentations from value chain experts. The session was moderated by Jean Downing, Senior Enterprise Development Advisor at the USAID Bureau for Economic Growth, Environment, and Education. Value chains are key to Feed the Future investments. Field experts from Feed the Future projects in Senegal and Ghana described the models they have used to link more and more smallholders to markets while enabling and incentivizing resource-poor farmers to invest in improved productivity. Alan Gibson, advisor to DFID, and an architect of its Making Markets Work for the Poor (M4P) approach, commented on these models, offering the perspective of another donor.
