GOP #FarmBill: cuts conservation funding by $1 billion and gets rid of the Conservation Stewardship Program–one of the largest programs we use to help farmers become more sustainable.

Farmers markets are a great way to meet local farmers, learn more about where your food is coming from & of course, get healthy foods.
GOP #FarmBill: cuts programs that help promote farmers markets and local food.
