A coalition led by the National Milk Producers Federation and National Council of Farmer Cooperatives is asking House and Senate leaders to approve new funding for climate-smart ag practices.
In a letter, the groups say they support efforts to increase spending on conservation incentives, including technical and financial assistance, as part of the upcoming infrastructure-related legislation. They say this would encourage innovative approaches that can help farmers continue to enhance the work they’re already doing to reduce their environmental footprint.
