🐸GMOs are not feeding the world. They are bankrupting farmers. #FixTheFarm #FixTheFarmBill #FixTheWholeEffingSystem

Rising costs are placing #Farmers in deep trouble. Univ Illinois projects negative returns statewide for #corn/soybeans in 2024, up to a loss of $150 per acre. The world is catching up re ag infrastructure, lowering their costs way below those in the US. https://t.co/3NW5IFTX7C

The USDA has two classifications for crops: commodity crops and specialty crops. What are "specialty crops"? Fruits, nuts, and vegetables. #FixTheFarm #FixTheFarmBill #subsidies 📎https://t.co/SPQIfW9TFo 📎https://t.co/0Oeeid42qp 📎https://t.co/CuvZNb7jII

Speak with your dollars to break up powerful lobbies of the GMO industry. We need to come together, and refuse to buy their toxic junk. #KnowYourFarmer and support the good guys. Now is the time to find an #organic CSA and support organic agriculture. #FixTheFarm #FixTheFarmBill

The farm bill was projected to cost approximately $428 billion over 5 years until 2023, but where is all this money going to? Not small farmers! #fixthefarmbill

Ugly indeed. I have the alternative—a #FarmBill for everyone, not just a select few. Fortunately, it's not too late to demand the reforms we so desperately need. Let's use the differences between the House and Senate to #FixTheFarmBill. https://t.co/vXYmR4hW8C

People like this are the future of American food & agriculture. Congress must preserve and expand investment in these critical programs that support new energy in the industry. As we continue to deliberate the #FarmBill, it's not too late. #FixTheFarmBill https://t.co/S6CPzHf57j

While the House was voting on the GOP #FarmBill, the GAO released a new report detailing farm subsidy abuse. Is this the reason GOP leadership didn't want to have a real debate on farm subsidy reform? #FixTheFarmBill https://t.co/T79wkjr4ml

Time to contact your reps! The House may vote on the #farmbill as early as tomorrow am, and it's a real mixed bag for #Maine farmers. #fixthefarmbill - https://t.co/MeiH7kbU4l

@RegenerateUS @JamieforOregon @repblumenauer @EricBurnetteOR @crary4congress @RazMason @drjennineahring I'm certainly no fan of the #FarmBill! I absolutely support @repblumenauer's #FoodandFarmAct. Let's put community before special interests and #FixTheFarmBill!

Recess is over @SpeakerRyan, @ConawayTX11. Let’s talk about work. This #FarmBill doesn’t work. Work requirements don’t work. These cuts don't work. You know what does work? #SNAPworks #ProtectSNAP #FixtheFarmBill https://t.co/yk6Zujj5v0

Thank you @repblumenauer for your leadership in pushing back against the disastrous House Farm Bill and working with farmers for alternative food and farm legislation that Oregonians can be proud of! - #fixthefarmbill #orpol @sustainableag @OregonTilth - https://t.co/noOYxyQx4o https://t.co/OiFdrpKSan

The GOP #FarmBill is an attack on family farmers, health, the environment & those in need. Productive conversation w/ Oregonians today on how we're fighting back. We need food & farm policies that support EVERYONE, not just a select few. #FixTheFarmBill
