๐ŸšจThe Republican's partisan #FarmBill text would make the largest cut to SNAP in nearly 30 years.๐Ÿšจ Weakening our ability to feed the most vulnerable members of our communities is shortsighted and wrong. Read Ranking Member @RepDavidScott 's statement:

Iโ€™m kicking off my 14th annual Farm Tour in Hadley at Amherst Nurseries! John, Amanda, and their team grow trees with a focus on soil conservation. They have relied on federal @USDA and state @MassDeptAgr grants to grow on land in Amherst, Hadley, and Charlemont.

Farmers need resources to climate-proof their operations and continue being the leading stewards of our lands. House Democrats are fighting to keep billions in historic investments in climate-smart agriculture in the #FarmBill 's conservation title.

Republicans are dead set on shredding the CCC safety net while standing behind a presidential candidate that is committed to starting a trade war that will put American farmers out of business. #FarmBill

Indian Tribal Organizations and CSFP operators have experienced significant food delivery delays, affecting access to food for families in need. Today, we sent a bipartisan letter to USDA seeking answers to ensure accountability and a swift resolution for impacted communities.

Republicans talk a lot about rural America but have no plans to bring the most important bill for rural America to the floor. Actions speak louder than words, and Republicans waste all theirs on excuses.

While Democratic leadership walked away from the #FarmBill , there are thankfully others interested in finding consensus and moving forward a bipartisan farm bill written by rural America, for rural America.

Thereโ€™s a simple reason Republicans havenโ€™t brought the #FarmBill to the floor: They donโ€™t have the votes. They could get them by dropping their $30 billion cut to SNAP and attacks on climate-smart conservation. But theyโ€™d rather have a campaign issue than make a deal to pass it.

Two years ago, the Inflation Reduction Act became law, making the largest investment in the farm billโ€™s conservation title in history. Today, the more than $18 billion in new funding for climate-smart agricultural practices is helping farmers tackle climate change head-on.

Food security is national security. That is why House Democrats cannot support a Republican farm bill that takes $30 billion in food assistance away from hungry parents, children, seniors, and people with disabilities. #DefendSNAP

When farmworkers lose wages or even their jobs due to natural disasters, it can be devastating for the entire family. I met with several farmworker families in Woodburn yesterday to talk about my bill, the Disaster Relief for Farm Workers Act, and how it would help them.

House Republicans have written a farm bill they do not have the money to pay for and do not have the votes to pass. Playing politics with a partisan farm bill hurts farmers and the families they feed.

Why wonโ€™t Speaker Johnson commit to bringing the #FarmBill to the floor? Why arenโ€™t House Republicans working with House Democrats to craft a truly bipartisan bill that can actually pass? They risk hanging farmers out to dry.

โ€œTo put it bluntly, farmers and renewable fuel industry workers who take the time to read the Project 2025 recommendations on agriculture and energy are likely to be terrified.โ€ Trumpโ€™s Project 2025 poses a grave threat to American agriculture.

Our farmers & ranchers carry a heavy burden to put food on our tables every day. Unfortunately, many in our ag communities struggle with mental health โ€”my bipartisan bill with @RepTonyGonzales would provide resources to support our neighbors in crisis.

When I visited Keller Farms, I heard firsthand about the unique challenges that specialty crop growers face. I look forward to bringing what I learned from my conversation with Lindsey back to Washington as we work to pass this year's Farm Bill!
