Small farms are getting priced out of the system.
They’re forced to pay hundreds, even thousands, a year for food-safety audits just to access wholesale markets. Big farms can absorb it. Small farms can’t. The Cutting COSTS Act fixes that by reimbursing those costs and leveling the playing field.

Our food is rotting? Immigration crackdown is causing severe labor shortages; food sits out in fields, orchards. Without human hands to pick, we lose out on apples, grapes, berries, citrus, tomatoes, onions, head lettuce, bell peppers, cukes, broccoli, and more. Such a waste!

ICE raids on farms have a chilling effect on the labor force, leaving crops unharvested in the fields and supply chains disrupted. Agricultural employment dropped 6.5%. Replacing and retraining workers is costly and time-consuming for farmers. Those costs get passed on to you.

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.
