McGovern: Over and over again I heard from farmers about how they are bracing for these drastic snap cuts. Why? Because you can only buy food with snap benefits. Who grows that food? Our farmers.. They are already seeing the abrupt cancellation of usda programs that support the purchase of fresh local produce for schools and food banks.

Seriously though, hope dems dont throw a completely unencumbered lifeline to these farmers. Ask them to put up their state and local tax money for matching federal funds or something similar so that they have skin in the game.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
