John Faso helped the Agriculture Committee ram through a harmful Farm Bill on a party-line vote. He proves once again that he is not interested in showing up for farmers or the hardworking families of the Hudson Valley and the Catskills. #NY19https://www.agweb.com/article/farm-bill-clears-house-committee-on-partisan-vote/ …

This tone-deaf bill:
Strips crucial crop insurance options that our farmers rely on
Slashes local organic agriculture programs and funding for rural economic development, which would help create good jobs
Kicks more than a million off of the SNAP program

Think about that. More than a million will be kicked off of SNAP, which children, elderly and disabled folks need to put food on the table. We should be lifting up our friends and neighbors, not kicking them while they're down.

And with so many farmers struggling to get by in a tough agricultural economy, it’s no surprise that John Faso has failed to listen to their needs. It's just more of the same from "No Show" Faso and his Washington Republicans friends. #NY19
