This year's midterm elections will decide the direction of a massive legislative package meant to tackle the nation's agricultural problems. Republican Senate and House members are already vowing they won't pack it with climate "buzzwords."
Roughly every five years, lawmakers pass The Farm Bill, a spending bill that addresses the agriculture industry, food systems, nutrition programs, and more. This legislation is up for reauthorization next year. The political fighting comes on the heels of both the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law including billions of dollars for climate provisions.
