Protect climate funds in farm bill, say advocates

Mayors from Louisiana and advocates from the Water Collaborative, Healthy Gulf, 1Mississippi, and the National Audubon Society asked Congress to invest in better water infrastructure and increase federal funding for farmer-led conservation.

In an age defined by technology, we tend to take farmers for granted. Yet farmland continues to dominate the American landscape.

17 farmers and ranchers from across the country traveled to Washington D.C. last week to urge members of Congress to include critical funding for climate-smart conservation programs in the upcoming farm bill.

The chairwoman and ranking member of the Senate Agriculture Committee disagree over tapping billions of dollars from a health, tax and climate law to expand baseline funding for the upcoming farm bill.

Some 644 environmental, farm, religious, wildlife and recreation groups urged the leaders of the Senate and House Agriculture committees on Monday to protect the $20 billion earmarked last summer for climate-smart agriculture from farm-bill raids.
