While larger Farm Bill programs continue automatically during an extension, smaller initiatives like the Organic Certification Cost Share Program require specific funding authorization to continue. The Organic Certification Cost Share Program is at risk! Without immediate Congressional action to allocate stopgap funding, this vital program will expire, leaving thousands of organic farmers with a huge net increase in their annual certification costs. Your voice is crucial right now. Please contact your representatives using the template letter above to help ensure this essential program continues supporting American organic farmers. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/ofa_costshare
