Farm Bill Now

This summer the Senate passed their version of the Farm Bill and now it is in the hands of the House where it has been for a while. 

The five year Farm Bill expires in September.  Although you may not realize it by the name, but the Farm Bill affects everyone. 


 

 



"The farm bill has broad impact on our citizens and our economy. 



It provides healthy foods to millions of schoolchildren and nutritious

 options to families in need. It develops and expands trade with valuable

foreign markets. By reducing spending significantly compared to prior

farm bills, the proposals pending right now in Congress address the

 need to get our nation’s fiscal house in order."

 

 

Encourage your Congressmen to finish the Farm Bill.  Let them know your support and the importance of passing the Farm Bill before it expires.
