Tell Your Representatives: We Want a Farm Bill for All, Not a Tax Break for the Wealthiest

The Current Budget Reconciliation Bill is Bad for Farmers, the Land & Communities

July 2, 2025

The Land Stewardship Project and our allies have been loud and clear for years: we need strong agricultural legislation that invests in programs that nourish people, protect our environment, and build strong economies. All farmers deserve support so they can thrive, and all community members deserve access to nutritious food.

The House of Representatives will soon vote on a rushed, corrupt budget reconciliation bill that futher tilts the scales in favor of the largest and most well-off producers, corporations, and consumers. This budget reconciliation process is intended to ensure that federal dollars are being used responsibly, yet Congress has chosen to push forward with a bill that increases the national debt, destroys our chances of getting a full Farm Bill passed, and hurts millions of families nationwide.

But it’s not over yet: the House needs to know that we’re all paying attention, and that we won’t stand by as they once again rush through a bill that hurts farmers and families.

Can you take a moment to contact your representative and ask them to VOTE NO on the reconciliation package?
