Climate Action Now

Support conservation techincal assistance in the Farm Bill
Working lands conservation programs do not currently meet the funding or technical assistance needs of farmers. In other words, many more farmers are interested in implementing conservation and climate-friendly practices than the last Farm Bill had funding for. The Farm Bill will be reauthorized in 2023 for five years. Now the IRA is passed, the Farm Bill is the next HUGE opportunity to impact climate policy at the federal level for the next five years. The Farm Bill is in fact $160 billion larger than IRA expenditures. I just listened to a NY State hearing on the Farm Bill and a bunch of farmers and farm businesses testified. They all mentioned climate--it's really important to them and we can help them be part of the solution. Here's the link if you want to get a feel for how people in upstate NY are talking about the Farm Bill. https://www.facebook.com/nyagandmarkets/videos/608723470691426
