Senators: Vote NO on the Farm Bill!

The Farm Bill shapes what food is grown in the U.S., how it is produced, where it is sold, and who can afford to buy it. It’s supposed to be passed every five years — but the 2018 Farm Bill has been extended three times, falling victim to partisan politicking and Trump’s campaign to shrink government spending.

Now it's finally up for a vote, but the current draft has been heavily shaped by Big Ag corporations.

As long as corporations maintain a stranglehold over our food system, farmers will not get fair prices for their crops and livestock, and consumers will have less access to nutritious, affordable food.

Urge your senators to vote NO on the flawed, corporate-driven Farm Bill!

Please vote NO on the corporate-backed Farm Bill. Instead of serving everyday people, this bill is poised to funnel more taxpayer dollars to corporate factory farm expansion, maintain devastating nutrition assistance cuts, and weaken fundamental conservation investments.

While Chairman Boozman heeded the growing calls from public health and environmental advocates and abandoned the politically toxic Cancer Gag provisions and the Save Our Bacon Act (SOBA) [formerly known as the EATS Act], this Farm Bill still fails to address the root causes of today’s food and agriculture crises.

The current draft Farm Bill:

- Fails to address the devastating impacts of the H.R. 1 cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), leaving millions of people vulnerable to food insecurity and hunger.

- Expands support for dirty factory farm gas projects and factory farm infrastructure through the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP), despite documented project failures and loan defaults.

- Guts the budget authority for the Environmental Quality Incentive Program, one of the nation’s most oversubscribed conservation programs, stripping critical funding without ensuring sustainable farmers will have access to replacement conservation support.

Please reject this industry-focused Farm Bill and pass a fair Farm Bill that supports small and midsized farmers, hungry Americans, and a clean environment.
