On the House Ag Committee, I am constantly reminding colleagues of the importance of urban farms and gardens. With @OEFFA I visited Bay Branch Farm and the Shalom and Tranquility Community Garden to learn about what they’re doing and how we can support local farms and gardens.
In Dayton, OH, Donnetta Boykin received SARE support to experiment with 4 options for preventing and treating powdery mildew. This is her presentation at the 2024 @OEFFA Conference. https://t.co/kmB29XOrIG
County Line Organic Farm is an incredible multi-generational, family-owned farm working toward biodynamic practices & sustainability in #Agriculture.
Thank you to Joe & Renee Ramunni & members of @OEFFA for showing me how you grow healthy & clean plants for #NortheastOhio!
⚠️Help stop Congress from making a huge mistake in the farm bill! Bipartisan negotiations are hung up on a proposal that could cut billions from nutrition and conservation programs—to instead raise subsidies for less than 0.3% of wealthy commodity farms. https://t.co/JX6LnlC1xJ
Conservation programs help farmers invest in resilient soils, but some members of Congress want to use that funding to increase subsidies for farms using industrial practices that promote climate change.

Farm safety net programs work for some farmers, but reforms could bring a more level playing field, taxpayer savings, and a boost in on-farm resilience. https://t.co/hkwHb1b5Pq

We're urging @FTC and @DOJ to investigate Koch’s planned acquisition of OCI Global’s Iowa Fertilizer Co.
If the deal goes through, taxpayers will have effectively subsidized the expansion of Koch’s control over the heavily concentrated fertilizer market.https://t.co/4HbMkBhLCT
