Yesterday we got the chance to visit Chill C Farms' Managing Partner, Sam Watson. He took us out to this pepper field that they had to abandon after the storms in June and the seemingly never ending rain that came afterward ruined their Spring crop.

Today our nation’s highest court affirmed private property rights of farmers & ranchers. We appreciate SCOTUS's careful consideration of Sackett v EPA and renew our call for EPA to rewrite the WOTUS rule in a way that respects farmers & provides clarity as we care for our land.

Few pieces of legislation are more significant than the farm bill when it comes to ensuring our food system is secure. Farmers have America’s back. And the farm bill is how our country has farmers’ backs.

Congratulations to Kevin Vogel (@Entomology_UGA) on his $1 million grant from @NSF!
Vogel and his team at CAES will be researching kissing bugs, a pest that is the primary vector of Chagas disease and responsible for more than 10,000 deaths yearly.
