Specialty crop producers like Michael are counting on Farm Bill 2.0 to deliver greater consistency and certainty for their operations.
It’s time to approve the bill.

Farm Bill 2.0 invests in invasive species research and new tools to help growers protect their operations.
Farmers like Alan rely on these tools to protect their operations and continue producing.

AmericanHort is proud to represent our members, like @DutchmnTreeFrms in Michigan. The specialty crop provisions included in this legislation will provide meaningful support for horticulture businesses across the country.
Behind every Farm Bill are farmers, producers and rural families. Meet the people whose stories show why Farm Bill 2.0 matters and why they’re calling for action to move the bill forward.
Christmas tree farmers like Scott want Farm Bill 2.0 to pass because it gives specialty crop producers the tools and confidence they need to plant, invest and grow. By strengthening support for producers, Farm Bill 2.0 can help ensure family farms have the stability to keep growing for generations to come.
