@publicnewsservice.bsky.socialThis week on #TheYonderReport with @dailyyonder.bsky.social: #Solar-powered tech takes on toxic algal blooms; the #FarmBill has expired, leaving #SNAP benefits uncertain; higher prices are a key #election concern; and a two-ton pumpkin is smashing records and winning championships.
@publicnewsservice.bsky.socialThe Farm Bill has officially expired, leaving #SNAP's future even more uncertain. Under a new cost-share formula, states could owe anywhere from millions to billions, and some may pull out of the program entirely.

@farmpolicy.bsky.social2/2 The #FarmBill “legislation needs bipartisan backing to pass the full Senate, meaning negotiations for a revised bill need to begin in earnest as soon as possible.”
@farmpolicy.bsky.social1/ Today's Farm Policy News Summary covers how "the Senate’s version of the #FarmBill isn’t expected to be put to a vote in the chamber before the election and instead senators and House lawmakers will informally conference to work out differences."

@publicnewsservice.bsky.socialThe Senate #Agriculture Committee left the "Save Our Bacon Act" out of its #FarmBill, a win for producers who oppose limits on state animal welfare rules. #Nebraska #rancher Kevin Fulton isn't celebrating yet: the House version still includes it, & the current Farm Bill extension expires this month.
@animaldefenders.bsky.socialThe Farm Bill has passed in the Senate Committee on Agriculture with Section 12006 REMOVED. The fight is not over. The Senate still needs to pass the bill. Urge your Senators to keep the Save Our Bacon Act language OUT of the Farm Bill. 👇 takeaction.io/animaldefend...

@jndvle.bsky.socialThe McConnell #cover-up just fell apart on camera. They dragged #MitchMcConnell out to vote on the #FarmBill, voted the wrong way, and had to be corrected by two senators at the table. Then his team put out a glowing statement in his name. Wake the hell up.
