Huzzah! Late Wednesday evening, Congress passed a bipartisan, one-year extension of the 2018 Farm Bill, which protects and extends critical #organic agricultural programs, such as the Organic Agriculture Research and Extension Initiative (OREI). The extension also supports the activities of the USDA National Organic Program (Agricultural Marketing Service), including funding for important programs but lack a permanent funding mechanism, such as the Organic Production & Market Data Initiative, the Organic Integrity Database, and Organic Certification Cost-Share. We all win here to some extent, so let's celebrate this continuance. Then let's again dig in to start advocating for #OrganicFairShare in the next Farm Bill. For those of you who've asked, yes, I think I made that hashtag up. I'd like to see it used more often as the hashtag of choice when advocating (on any platform) for our fair share of research dollars, climate-positive agricultural programs, carbon sequestration funding, and other places where we deserve our fair share.

We were proud to join a coalition of food-security organizations yesterday on Capitol Hill for a briefing about why it's important for Congress to pass the Farm Bill. This legislation is vital for ensuring continued funding for agricultural research and innovation programs, which are needed to enable farmers to adapt to increasing challenges.

Since the Great Depression, Congress has passed a farm bill every five years to fund projects from agricultural research to nutrition programs to rural development and more. This year, the bill poses a significant test to a divided government. In our conversation, we will cover what we have seen in past farm bills, areas of possible bipartisan agreement, where roadblocks to the bill lie and how the negotiation and passage of the legislation might play out.
Take Action: Don’t Allow the Pesticide Lobby To Strip Local and State Authority To Restrict Pesticide Use! The introduction of state pesticide preemption laws has been a growing trend — help us urge Congress to pass a Farm Bill that does not undermine local authority communities striving to safeguard public health and the environment! If passed as part of the Farm Bill in the House, the Agricultural Labeling Uniformity Act (H.R.4288) will grievously hinder state governments from tailoring laws to address their communities' specific needs and protect their residents from pesticides. While the bill's language appears to focus on labeling, it actually prohibits any locality or state from imposing more restrictive restrictions than the federal labeling on a pesticide product. Take Action: https://ow.ly/Ysv650P6Wit Part 1: Urge your local officials to sign onto a letter opposing preemption language Part 2: Tell your U.S. Representative and Senators to support communities by opposing anti-democratic preemption language in the 2023 Farm Bill.
