Texas HB 2397 would halt Texas Dept of Ag's intrusive inspections of small farms; farms exempt from the federal Produce Safety Rule. TDA wastes your tax $$ to inspect these farms! Call your TX state rep & ask for support to rein in TDA! More at ow.ly/Jfqx50DPnDj.

New research confirms why farmers need support to shift to organic & regenerative ag to help combat the climate crisis! We cannot rely on toxic pesticides that undermine healthy soil and poison pollinators & people. #SaveTheSoil theguardian.com/environment/20…

The Texas House just passed the Home Food Security Bill to prevent HOAs and cities from keeping people from growing their own food on their own property! It just needs to get through the Senate & needs signing by Gov Abbott. Call your TX Senators to support HB 1686!
