Release: Farmers Shine Spotlight on Vital Impact of Climate Funding at the IRA Conservation and Farmers Roundtable  <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Washington, DC, January 11, 2024 <\/em>\u2013 Today, members of the House Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition (SEEC) hosted a public roundtable highlighting the Inflation Reduction Act\u2019s (IRA) transformational investments in climate and clean energy solutions for America\u2019s food producers. Farmers from across the country discussed firsthand how the IRA has provided much-needed, long-sought federal funding to bolster farmer-led conservation efforts. Farmers\u2019 firsthand stories of how climate change is affecting their farms demonstrate the importance of protecting the federal programs helping them build resilience.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panelists included SEEC Climate and Agriculture Task Force Co-Chair Chellie Pingree (D-ME 1, SEEC Climate and Agriculture Task Force Co-Chair Kim Schrier (D-WA 8), Lindi and Jared Phillips of Branch Mountain Farm in Lincoln, AR, Denise and John Jamerson of Legacy Taste of the Garden in Princeton, IN, Pryor Garnett of Garnetts Red Prairie Farm in Sheridan, OR, Ariana Taylor-Stanley of Here We Are Farm in Trumansburg, NY, and Mike Lavender, NSAC Policy Director. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“The importance of the need to grow food, agriculture products, good land stewardship is the most imperative investment for our children\u2019s future. With the IRA\u2019s support and the continued implementation of the climate smart technical support and capacity building addressing the volatile aspect of farming, costs of equipment, growing practices and soil development, the next generation has a better future and opportunities for sustainability\u2026The IRA funding in these programs is critical to the future of agriculture.”<\/em> – Denise Jamerson, Legacy Taste of the Garden, Princeton, IN<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cSeason over season [rotational grazing] builds soil health and increases soil\u2019s capacity to both hold on to water and to sequester carbon. This is huge both in times of drought and in times of increased precipitation, both are which are becoming increasingly common in our area and across the US as the climate crisis unfolds. However, implementing these systems comes with the sizeable price tag and there aren\u2019t many farmers who can simply absorb that cost. So many farmers across the nation are stuck at an impossible place right now if they want to stay competitive in their industry, they have to respond to markets and at present those markets don\u2019t favor climate-friendly farming. Consumers are largely unfamiliar with the real cost of producing quality food in a way that does not exploit and eventually wreck our soils.\u201d <\/em>– Lindi Phillips, Branch Mountain Farm, Lincoln, AR<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAs a small-scale farmer, climate change is one of the biggest threats to my operation, and one of the most important challenges to address through my farming practices. USDA conservation programs have been a critical tool in enabling me to pay my crew to help with projects – like planting trees – that don\u2019t pay for themselves in one season. I\u2019m so glad that Inflation Reduction Act funding is enabling more farmers to access conservation programs to address climate change and I hope the next farm bill will continue to expand this support to farmers who have been left out of it.\u201d <\/em>– Ariana Taylor-Stanley, Here We Are Farm, Trumansburg, NY<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cConservation is at the heart of how many farmers approach their livelihood, and it\u2019s a win-win for the farm and the environment. Conservation can bolster bottom-lines and support farm productivity while protecting and enhancing natural resources. Amidst a changing climate, good conservation can make a farm more resilient in the face of extreme weather and one that directly mitigates greenhouse gasses\u2026 For every success story you hear, there are roughly 3 farmers who have been turned away due to a lack of funding. That\u2019s right – in 2020 and 2022 combined, 3 of every 4 farmers who applied – from red states and blue states alike – were turned away from two of USDA\u2019s conservation programs that help make these success stories possible. At least, that was until the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was signed into law. <\/em>– Mike Lavender, Policy Director, National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
