Last week, the Agriculture Department rolled out $1.5 billion in conservation funds from the Inflation Reduction Act - which will fund additional conservation projects on agricultural lands.
However, the Republican chairman of the Agriculture Committee, Glenn Thompson, is plowing ahead with a partisan Farm Bill that would cut the funding the USDA relies on to invest in these critical environmental projects.
This is a serious issue, John. SEEC Members like Kim Schrier and Chellie Pingree, who co-chair SEEC’s Climate and Agriculture Task Force, have been instrumental in championing a Farm Bill that supports farmers and helps them become a part of the climate solution, but Republicans are seemingly undeterred in taking us backwards.
We have to take back the House and stop them from passing a partisan Farm Bill.
