The Farm & Forestry Operations Security Special Fund (S.60) has passed the legislature with unanimous support! Now, it's on Governor Scott's desk, waiting to be signed into law.
Farmers everywhere are facing catastrophic climate crises, but here in Vermont, we are making the choice to support them through it. Once passed and funded, the Farm & Forestry Operations Security Special Fund will ensure farmers and loggers have the financial support they need to recover from extreme weather.
It means supporting rural livelihoods, protecting the health of our land, preserving the heart of our communities, and ensuring strong local economies.
But we need Governor Scott to sign the bill into law. Please call Governor Scott at 802-828-3333 to ask him to: "Please sign S.60—the Farm & Forestry Operations Security Special Fund." Feel free to also add a reason why you think this bill is important, or keep it brief—it's up to you. It should only take a couple of minutes, and you can expect to either leave a voicemail or have your message taken by a member of Governor Scott's staff.
Learn more about S.60, and stay tuned for more opportunities to advocate for vital funding to support this bill!
