@GGunthorp @HouseAgGOP To answer your questions in order:
-no, apparently not
-yes, but apparently they’ve been forgotten/lost to abstraction & distraction

[PA Farmers Union @PAFarmersUnion]

@GGunthorp It would be interesting to see how much water use changes for each pivot uses after cropland changes to perennial forage. And for each of the first 20 years it’s grazed using AMP vs set stocking. Among other things. There is plenty empirical evidence for nutritional improvement.

📢Big news via @politico @Morning_Ag: "Advocates plan to blitz farm country in a bid to include checkoff reforms in the farm bill" as 16 farm groups launch the #EnoughIsEnough Tour.

We're calling for an end to government policies that favor the largest food industry giants. 1/2

I'm back in my hometown of Pittsburgh today talking with producers, small business owners, and local officials about the work @USDA is doing to create more economic opportunities and greater prosperity in communities in Pennsylvania and nationwide.

Huge announcement by the Secretary of Agriculture at the National Farmers Union convention today on Product of USA rules. I’ve been fighting for this since 2015.

@madbaldscotsman @PendantCody @FarmAid Not to pick nits, but Boston Butt is the shoulder. If Neil’s point was porcine, it’s the ham he was talking about. (We’re guessing he meant the best plan is to #votewithyourfork and #knowyourfarmer!😜)

Go beyond the misleading headlines to learn the truth behind common myths about climate change. We illustrate the essential role family farmers play as stewards of our soil, water and climate. https://t.co/08KOtXiIM7

Farmers working together for mutual benefit –– that’s the essence of the cooperative movement and the spirit that's motivated Farmers Union since 1902. We're excited to join cooperatives nationwide in celebrating National #CoopMonth throughout October. #CoopsBuildEconomicPower
