AFT is helping farmers, ranchers, and landowners play a unique role in reducing the growing threat of climate change -- and cows are a part of that solution. #NoFarmsNoFoodNoFuture

. @WorkingLandsCT's new video addresses helping dairy farmers remain economically viable thru #farmland_preservation. @USDA_NRCS also works with farmers to protect their land thru the #ACEP easement program. youtube.com/watch?v=BTBS0CHk… nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrc…
Great to host Senator @MattLesser and Representative Kerry Wood at Fair Weather Acres and at the Phoenix Farm today. Thanks for coming out to learn more about farmland preservation

"You cannot ask farmers to do this on their own. They have the will but not the resources." -Tom Vilsack at the #climatechange hearing. @Farmland agrees and is committed to supporting farmers in their adoption and implementation of #ClimateSmartAg farmland.org/initiatives/far…

Farmers are uniquely affected by climate change but also uniquely positioned to provide the solution. @Farmland thanks @senPatRoberts @senateAgGOP @senateAgDems for bringing us together on this for a hearing tomorrow. #climatechange #climate agriculture.senate.gov/heari…

Congratulations CT!! @CTFarmBureau
I look forward to signing into law the #hemp bill that just received final approval in the #CTHouse tonight! This will strengthen our efforts to grow our agricultural economy and create jobs, and do so in a responsible manner for #Connecticut’s farmers.
WLA steering Committee member @NathanLEtoile with Representative Chellie Pingree in Maine today. #nofarmsnofood
Today in #Maine I outlined a five-point plan to help farmers mitigate climate change:
✅Prioritize soil health initiatives
✅Protect farmland and improve farm viability
✅Support pasture-based livestock systems
✅Invest in on-farm and rural energy initiatives
✅Reduce food waste

Had the honor of speaking at @EShoreLandC's conference #congestionahead Congestion that leads to more roads & bridges leads to more development & doesnt bring economic prosperity. 70 @Farmland studies show it costs more in services than previous uses.

We're celebrating #Connecticut's diverse agricultural community at the State Capitol today. We have many world-class products that are grown here in our state, and we're leading #NewEngland in the growth of new farms.

I am profoundly saddened to learn of Rep. Santiago’s passing. I have been friends with Ezequiel and his family for more than two decades. Ezequiel was raised in a family that valued public service and he was a fierce advocate, particularly for the families of Bridgeport.

Morning Commute!
No better way to start the week than behind a manure spreader.
Great reminder to watch for farm machinery and share the roads with our working farms.
