Farm Bill Update, calling makes a difference
The House and Senate Conference Report on the Farm Bill, which contains $10.361 billion in investments in the nutrition title, is expected to go up for votes on May 14th in the House and then in the Senate. Nearly three quarters of the total spending in the Farm Bill goes to the nutrition title so it is critical to get a strong vote in favor of the Farm Bill Conference Report when it goes for voting on May 14th.
