  • Senate Passes 2012 Farm Bill by Mackenzie Bailey
    INSIDE THIS ISSUE Senate Passes 2012 Farm Bill By MacKenzie Bailey On June 20, the U.S. Senate passed the bipartisan Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act with a vote of 64-35. Senator 3 Director's Letter Sherrod Brown’s (D-OH) leadership on the Senate Agriculture Committee helped to pass the bill, and he championed FDA Antibiotic Guidelines many of the pro-conservation and beginning farmer provisions that were incorporated as amendments. Senator Rob 4 Fracking Law Passes in Ohio Portman (R-OH) voted in opposition. If approved by the House and signed into law, this bill will reauthorize the 2008 Farm Bill—set to expire September 30—which is responsible for many of the country’s federal farming, food, and 5 Benefits of Growing Organic rural development programs. 6 Shiitake Mushrooms During the Senate debate, OEFFA members and other sustainable agriculture advocates made their voices heard with 7 News Briefs emails and phone calls to Senate offices.
