Oppose the House Farm Bill - H.R. 2
The US House is voting on a disastrous national Farm Bill this week. Urge your member of Congress to oppose it.
The US House is voting this week on a disastrous national Farm Bill - H.R. 2. The Farm Bill - typically passed every five years - is America's most important food and farm legislation. While a good Farm Bill is needed to provide direction and funding for the next 5 years of USDA programs, H.R. 2 goes in the wrong direction. Among many problems, it would:
- reduce support for local food production, organics, and small businesses in rural communities
- accelerate the growth of larger corporate farms while leaving smaller and mid-sized producers behind
- gut important farm conservation programs
- create more hunger and food-insecurity among low-income Americans
- provide inadequate support for beginning farmers and farmers of color
Please contact your member of Congress and urge them to oppose H.R. 2 when it comes up for a vote on the House floor.
While H.R. 2 goes in the wrong direction, there is a better way. We need to fix and improve the Farm Bill, not make it worse. Among better alternatives to the current House Farm Bill is Congressman Earl Blumenauer's Food and Farm Act, legislation introduced earlier this year that FoFF supports. Make your voice heard today!
