Stop Congress from restricting solar access for rural Americans Stop Congress from restricting solar access for rural Americans

The U.S. House is pushing a new #FarmBill that would limit farmers and rural small businesses from using #Rural Energy for America Program funding for solar.

So many factors influencing the farm economy right now. Rising fertilizer prices affect corn. Export market uncertainty (China) affect soybeans. High costs tied to the war and tariffs. Distrust of #USDA data due to major staff cutbacks. No #FarmBill in sight.

To #MN01 farmers, every day is another excuse from #BradFinstad for failing to demand a vote on #HR7567 Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 (aka #FarmBill)

And don't expect it soon ... as #RepFinstad is scheduled to be on Easter break Mar 30 thru Apr 10 then off again May 4

Today is National Ag Day! 🧡 Farmers, farmworkers and other food producers are essential partners in the movement to end hunger. We need a strong #FarmBill for farmers and people facing hunger! #AgDay26

Farm bill draft would permanently block return of Fort Reno to Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes The Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes object to language in the Congress' 2026 farm bill that would keep Fort Reno in USDA possession indefinitely.

The #Cheyenne and #Arapaho Tribes have called for the U.S. federal government to return possession of #FortReno for decades.

However, a proposed 2026 #FarmBill would keep Fort Reno in #USDA possession indefinitely.

#HR7567 still has not been put on the Union Calendar for a floor vote.

Mar 17
65 #GOP and 1 Dem voted AGAINST #HR4294 to provide grants to pet and animal food manufacturers to use blue catfish.

Don't be surprised if 50+ Republicans vote NO on #FarmBill because of sugar & crop insurance subsidies
