Dear Democratic Colleague,
Next week, House Republicans plan to push forward a partisan, radical Farm Bill that fails America’s farmers and food-insecure families. House Republicans’ proposal was unanimously rejected by House Agriculture Committee Democrats, led by Ranking Member Collin Peterson.

This bad bill reflects a bad process, in which the GOP leadership cynically rejected a decades-long bipartisan tradition that weds our rural and urban communities together.
