Take Action!
What's Going on Right Now:
The House of Representatives is debating the 2013 Farm Bill right now!
Both the House and Senate Agriculture Committees amended and passed their draft versions of the 2013 Farm Bill on May 14 and May 15. After that, the full Senate took up its bill for additional debate and amendments and approved its version of the bill on June 10. This week, the full House of Representatives will debate - and possibly pass - its version of the bill!
Sustainable agriculture champions in Congress have introduced several amendments that improve healthy food access, build strong communities, protect natural resources, invest in future farmers, and ensure real reform of commodity payments. These amendments MUST make it into the final version of the farm bill, and we need your voice to help make that happen.
If you care about getting healthy food to everyone, protecting our natural resources, and supporting the next generation of American farmers, then you'll want to take action on the 2013 Farm Bill this week!
