The Enough Is Enough Tour is calling for checkoff program reform to level the playing field for America’s farmers and ranchers.
The Defeat EATS coalition released statements regarding the inclusion of EATS Act language in the House farm bill ahead of the bill’s markup on May 23.
This House farm bill will only help the big get bigger off the backs of America’s taxpayers, said Farm Action Fund’s Joe Maxwell.
“We have a key window of opportunity this month to push for legislation to enact meaningful food system reform,” said Farm Action Fund’s Angela Huffman.
Farm groups announced the launch of the Enough Is Enough Tour to call for an end to government policies that favor the largest food industry giants.
“The Enough Is Enough Tour is a unified platform for farmers and ranchers to voice the disastrous impacts of the current system on their lives and livelihoods, and to demand reforms that bring prosperity and fair competition to agriculture,” said Farm Action Fund’s Angela Huffman.
