On May 17, G.T. Thompson, Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, released proposed legislative text for the House Farm Bill. On Thursday, May 23, the bill will go to ‘markup’, during which the House Agriculture Committee will debate this massive 954-page draft legislation and consider amendments to the bill. You can watch the House markup live here.
We are asking the organic community to contact your Representative as the House Agriculture Committee prepares for the Farm Bill markup tomorrow, May 23.
Help us make a difference by asking your Representative to give organic its fair share of investment in the Farm Bill!
Please personalize the message below if you can and explain why organic agriculture is important in your state and community.
Many thanks to the National Organic Coalition for this analysis of the House bill.
