Why grassroots support on the Farm Bill is so important:

John, you’ve probably seen my name in a few of these emails, so I thought it was time I introduced myself. I’m Representative Chellie Pingree, SEEC Vice Chair. 


Right now, I’m leading SEEC’s Climate and Agricultural Task Force to ensure the 2023 Farm Bill is the most climate friendly Farm Bill Congress has ever passed. I’ll tell you why getting this bill to President Biden’s desk is so important in a moment, but if you don’t have time to finish this email, can I count on you to support our efforts and by chipping in $8?

Our farmers are on the frontlines of our climate crisis, John. Severe drought, record flooding, mounting wildfires, and other extreme weather conditions are all hurting our farm lands — both on land and at sea.


A recent study from the Nature Sustainability journal just found that more than 90 percent of the world's marine food supplies are at risk from environmental changes, like rising temperatures and pollution. And considering the U.S. is one of the top producers, this spells really bad news for one of our major farming industries. As a Member of Congress from Maine, this hits very close to home.


That’s where the Farm Bill comes in. Under this landmark legislation, we won’t just be giving our farmers more resources — we’ll be giving them the tools to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.


Now here’s where you come in. We’re not just facing opposition from climate deniers in the House — the powerful Agribusiness and food processing lobby is working against us to protect their pocketbooks, too. And both of them are joining forces to strip the Farm Bill of critical conservation programs.


John, we know that in order to protect our safe and abundant food supply, invigorate rural communities, and help farmers take care of the environment as they continue to provide food, feed, fuel, and fiber to the world, we have to make sure these conservation programs not only survive, but are strengthened in the 2023 Farm Bill. That’s why I’m reaching out on behalf of SEEC to ask you to chip in whatever you can to support our fight to get the 2023 Farm Bill signed into law. Can we count on your support?

This bill isn’t some partisan move. It’s a critical effort to ensure a sustainable future for our farmlands and keep food on your table for generations to come.
 

I hope you’ll join us in this fight, John.

Thanks for your support, team. We’ll keep you updated.
