More than 400 agricultural organizations have asked Congress to ensure adequate funds are available for the 2023 Farm Bill.
The national, regional, and state farm associations signed onto a letter to both the House and Senate Budget Committee chairs asking for the funding to create a bipartisan, multi-year, comprehensive, and meaningful piece of legislation.
The farm groups say the Title I safety net has been shrinking for the past 20 years and the trade war that started in 2018 revealed gaps in the farm safety net.
