Thank you for being here with us and reading along! This series elevates the many damaging impacts of the recently passed budget reconciliation bill, referred to as the \u201cOne Big Beautiful Bill Act\u201d. The more we can share accurate information about what is going on, the more effective we will collectively be in changing these policies! Our third blog post in this series focuses on some of the ways this new law hurts farmers and farming communities. (If you haven\u2019t yet, catch up on our <a href=\"https:\/\/nourishcolorado.org\/budget-reconciliation-unwanted-by-coloradans\/\">first<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/nourishcolorado.org\/budget-reconciliation-medicaid-cuts-and-complete-abandonment-of-snap-ed\/\">second<\/a>\u00a0posts in the series.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a high-level, this bill:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Will increase subsidies for large commodity growers;\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Includes little to no supports for small, diversified, and local agriculture;\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Makes drastic cuts to programs like SNAP and SNAP-Ed that connect more households to growers and help keep dollars local; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ultimately delays the passage of a comprehensive, forward-looking, bipartisan farm bill.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Farm Bill Catch-Up<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Budget reconciliation, as a reminder, barely passed out of the Senate and House, with all Democrats in both chambers voting against it. The bill pays for tax breaks and commodity subsidies by cutting SNAP.&nbsp; In so doing, it has bypassed, perhaps for years, the opportunity for the government to draft a bipartisan farm bill that reflects the many needs of rural and urban communities across the country. For many decades, the \u201cFarm Bill Coalition\u201d of Democrats and Republicans have worked together to draft and adopt a farm bill every five years or so that supports agriculture big and small, conservation, rural issues, and nutrition assistance. The farm bill, like all major legislative policies, requires 60 votes in the Senate to pass, meaning it must be bipartisan in nature. Legislators have long worked together to make sure many priorities are included so that the government can keep on functioning for the American people. In&nbsp;contrast, the budget reconciliation bill needed only 51% to pass, making it highly partisan with the majority party (Republicans) able to push through legislation without needing bipartisan support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the inclusion of so many farm bill provisions in budget reconciliation and the complete abandonment of bipartisan policy-making, this process means we may not see a complete, new farm bill until we have a new Congress. The 2018 Farm Bill has already been extended twice. These kinds of delays in changing or improving government programs hurt ALL sizes and shapes of agriculture and clearly will result in increased food insecurity. In the absence of a new farm bill, and to sustain most farm bill programs in any capacity, Congress must now pass an extension (again!) of the current bill before the end of the year.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Cutting Nutrition Assistance Hurts Farm Communities<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Much has been written about the economic impact of SNAP \u2013 every dollar of SNAP generates between $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.\u00a0 This is critical \u2013 food dollars benefit farmers, and the more food dollars one has, the more benefits farmers reap. The House Agriculture Committee released an analysis of budget reconciliation that summarizes the <a href=\"https:\/\/democrats-agriculture.house.gov\/uploadedfiles\/250409_-_ag_dems_-_snap_facts.pdf\">impacts that cutting SNAP will have on farm country<\/a>.They point out how 25 cents on every dollar spent on food (whether SNAP or otherwise) goes to a farmer, and for every dollar cut from a person\u2019s SNAP benefits, food purchases will decrease. Cuts have a compounding effect on SNAP food purchases, leading the House Ag Committee to estimate that this new law will eliminate $30 billion in farm revenue due to SNAP cuts alone.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To better understand the compounding effects here in Colorado, let\u2019s dive deeper. The loss of food dollars through SNAP alone will decrease farm sales, and in Colorado, SNAP is the foundation of two SNAP incentive programs \u2013<a href=\"https:\/\/doubleupcolorado.org\/\">\u00a0Double Up Food Bucks<\/a>\u00a0and the USDA pilot program <a href=\"https:\/\/cdhs.colorado.gov\/snap-produce-bonus\">Colorado SNAP Produce Bonus,<\/a>\u00a0which has over a 99% redemption rate. Collectively, these produce incentives for SNAP shoppers are available at over 150 locations and over 250 farmers accept payments from one or the other of these incentives. Farmers markets, and retailers that gain critical income from SNAP and SNAP incentives will lose customers from decreases in SNAP participation. Compounding this loss is the elimination of <a href=\"https:\/\/cdhs.colorado.gov\/snap-ed\">SNAP-Education<\/a>, which has for over 10 years connected limited-income households with their local food system by supporting programs like Double Up, offering shopping tours at farmers markets, and integrating local and seasonal produce into cooking classes. The farm bill is the only mechanism to not only sustain sufficient SNAP benefits, but also to restore SNAP-Ed and secure the future of high-ROI SNAP incentive programs.\u00a0 Laurel Smith, owner of Here &amp; Now Farm in Wellington, CO, sums up this damage to farmers such as herself:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cLike many people, I became a farmer because I wanted to feed people\u2014not just middle- or high-income people, but everyone who wants to eat fresh fruits and vegetables. One way I can make sure this is possible is to accept SNAP payments. And since I run a pilot program called Colorado SNAP Produce Bonus, SNAP shoppers can get up to $60\/month in additional produce from my farm for free\u2014a healthy food incentive. But all this is in jeopardy since the passage of the budget reconciliation bill. I am furious that almost 300,000 Coloradans might lose some or all of their SNAP in years ahead. Farmers like me will see that revenue stream shrink and we\u2019ll lose some of our favorite customers. Economists have shown that when someone shops with SNAP, it has a significant impact on our local economies. Why would we take that? These are programs that we dreamed up as a society. We asked our legislators for them, and we designed them into existence. For generations, we made changes to these types of programs through the Farm Bill instead of rushing bad ideas through budget committees. A proper farm bill is where we\u2019ll be able to decide to keep Colorado SNAP Produce Bonus going past 2027. Many farmers I know are unhappy with our representatives who voted this appalling bill through, and we\u2019ll be fighting for ways to rebuild a robust SNAP program for the communities we live in and love.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Multitude of Attacks on Farm and Food Systems<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The budget reconciliation bill, referred to by the University of Illinois\u2019\u00a0<em>farmdoc<\/em>\u00a0policy analysts as the \u201cReconciliation Farm Bill\u201d, wreaks much more havoc for farmers big and small than simply decreasing revenue through SNAP.

NSAC elevates how the Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the increases in subsidies through the nation\u2019s largest loss, in addition to risk coverage payout programs for commodity crops (which do not include fruit and vegetable crops), will cost over $54 billion over the next 10 years. Given that only 27% of farm acres are enrolled in these programs and only 31% of farms are even eligible given their base acreage, these massive subsidies will not benefit most of America\u2019s farmers. In moves that seem determined to widen the divide between large, commodity growers and smaller farmers, the bill does not\u00a0expand access to crop insurance for most small to mid-sized, multi-crop, or direct marketing farms.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bill is a confusing mixed bag for on-farm conservation support as well. The major problem is that conservation programs need to be authorized and strengthened through an actual farm bill. Refer back to NSAC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainableagriculture.net\/blog\/whats-really-inside-the-final-budget-reconciliation-bill-a-breakdown-of-food-and-agriculture-provisions\/\"><em>What\u2019s Really Inside the Final Budget Reconciliation Bill: A Breakdown of Food and Agriculture Provisions<\/em><\/a>\u00a0for an extensive review of how the bill does not extend the authorization of the $2 billion Conservation Reserve Program (it needs a farm bill!!) but it does rescind unobligated Inflation Reduction Act funds that were an unprecedented investment from the Biden Administration, including from the Conservation Stewardship Program, Environmental Quality Incentives Program, Agricultural Conservation Easement Program, and Regional Conservation Partnership Program.\u00a0 The bill also does not increase funding for programs such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sare.org\/\">Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program<\/a>\u00a0and the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nifa.usda.gov\/grants\/funding-opportunities\/organic-agriculture-research-extension-initiative\">\u00a0Organic Research and Extension Initiative.<\/a>\u00a0These are just a few examples of the types of programs that rely on a bipartisan farm bill for continuity and impact that will not experience support since the budget reconciliation seemingly picked and chose some agricultural provisions to support, and others to ignore.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bottom line, this process bypasses the decades-old Farm Bill Coalition and provides few opportunities for local efforts that support regional food systems and connections between nutrition assistance and farming communities.&nbsp; Stick with us next week to read more about the unfortunate ways that cuts to SNAP hurt not just SNAP recipients, but impact many food assistance programs, leading to concerns for food security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor&#8217;s Note: This post was written by Nourish Colorado, an NSAC member.

This day starts 150 miles away at 4:30 AM to begin setup at 7AM each Sunday. After doing this for eight years, he says, \u201cYou get used to it.\u201d But, there are rewards, \u201c\u2026coming over here, you\u2019re seeing your stuff able to sell pretty good. So that motivates you to keep doing it. I like what I\u2019m doing.\u201d Freshness is an important selling point, \u201cThings that go bad faster, we usually cut them the day before we come to the farmer\u2019s market, says Mr. Xiong. \u201cThings that are able to last a little bit longer we usually do two or three days before. Nothing is longer than that, \u2026so customers can have it fresh throughout the week.\u201d In Fresno, the family have four growing seasons on the 27 acres they own or lease. \u201cWe will have different things each season. He continues, \u201cduring the summer we are able to grow more, and we are able to offer more variety to the customer. In the winter we focus on the leafy greens. In Laos, to survive, you just grow your own stuff and feed your own family.\u201d The Xiong family emigrated from the mountain region of Laos, to Thailand and then to the United States in 1991. \u201cComing over here; I think it was well worth it. I think we have accomplished more than we (would) ever have, if we were to stay in Laos.\u201d He accepts SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits, and says, \u201cEBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer card) users end up getting more with the use of the EBT card.

He is part of a family farm in California\u2019s central valley agriculture region that sells produce in several farmers\u2019 markets, such as this one. This day starts 150 miles away at 4:30 AM to begin setup at 7AM each Sunday. After doing this for eight years, he says, \u201cYou get used to it.\u201d But, there are rewards, \u201c\u2026coming over here, you\u2019re seeing your stuff able to sell pretty good. So that motivates you to keep doing it. I like what I\u2019m doing.\u201d Freshness is an important selling point, \u201cThings that go bad faster, we usually cut them the day before we come to the farmer\u2019s market, says Mr. Xiong. \u201cThings that are able to last a little bit longer we usually do two or three days before. Nothing is longer than that, \u2026so customers can have it fresh throughout the week.\u201d In Fresno, the family have four growing seasons on the 27 acres they own or lease. \u201cWe will have different things each season. He continues, \u201cduring the summer we are able to grow more, and we are able to offer more variety to the customer. In the winter we focus on the leafy greens. In Laos, to survive, you just grow your own stuff and feed your own family.\u201d The Xiong family emigrated from the mountain region of Laos, to Thailand and then to the United States in 1991. \u201cComing over here; I think it was well worth it. I think we have accomplished more than we (would) ever have, if we were to stay in Laos.\u201d He accepts SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits, and says, \u201cEBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer card) users end up getting more with the use of the EBT card. It\u2019s a big advantage for us too. It gives low-income families a chance to come to the farmer\u2019s market\u2026 to buy vegetables and fruits for the family.
