While it is more likely that the next Congress will write the new Farm Bill in 2019, we still must take this opportunity to recruit more allies and educate more policymakers and thought leaders.
We are continuing to seek more congressional champions to introduce legislation or amendments on some of the top priorities. Our specific priorities include providing “638 authority” to tribal governments to manage SNAP and nutrition assistance programs and forestry programs; extending Substantially Underserved Trust Areas (SUTA) authority to all programs at USDA Rural Development; and parity for tribal governments in the conservation programs and throughout the Farm Bill.
