FoFF mostly focuses on statewide policy but Congress is currently drafting the Farm Bill and they need to hear from you! We need you to contact your Members of Congress this week and urge them to prioritize farmer-led natural climate solutions in the 2023 Farm Bill. This is a key time for those of us who want to see a more sustainable, equitable farm and food system.

EXAMPLE TEMPLATE to send a message to your Members of Congress (your representative and our two state-wide Senators for Oregon):

TO: Senators Wyden and Merkley and YOUR REPRESENTATIVE

Subject: prioritize farmer-led natural climate solutions in the Farm Bill

Senators Wyden and Merkley and Congressperson (INSERT YOURS HERE),

I’m reaching out as your constituent. I understand that both the House and Senate are working on their mark ups of the Farm Bill right now.

Please do all you can to prioritize prioritize farmer-led natural climate solutions in the 2023 Farm Bill by supporting these priorities:

-State Assistance for Soil Health, which would provide funding for states to implement soil health programs
-The Healthy Soils Healthy Climate Act, which would fund research and financial incentives for carbon sequestering soil health practices
-Keeping the $20 billion for farm conservation programs from Inflation Reduction Act in Title II of the Farm Bill

Thank you for prioritizing farmer-led natural climate solutions in the 2023 Farm Bill!
