Press conference video by Emilia Sykes, Ohio House Minority Leader.
Friend,
I’m proud to be the first Ohioan on the Senate Agriculture Committee in 50 years.
We know how important farming is to our state and how important the Farm Bill is for the 1 in 7 Ohioans who depend on agriculture for their jobs, and for all Ohioans who need to buy groceries every week.
Ohio farmers are some of the most productive in the world.
Yet when you go to most grocery stores in Ohio, you don’t find apples from Geauga County or beef raised in Lorain County – you see apples from Washington, and ground beef that might be from Texas or Nebraska or Brazil.
We know food prices are a big issue for Ohioans right now. Everyone sees the problems with inflation, particularly at the grocery store.
One of the big causes of these rising prices has been supply chains that are too long and too fragile.
Building more robust local and regional food systems will help bring those supply chains home to Ohio.
Leading up to every Farm Bill, we hold roundtables all around the state to learn Ohio farmers’ priorities. Over the past few weeks, I’ve talked with farmers in Wooster and Chesterland, and Food Bank volunteers who help to keep food on families’ tables.
At event after event, I heard a similar message: Ohio farmers want to find new markets for their products. But they have trouble competing with Big Ag and connecting with Ohio families who want to buy fresh, locally-grown food.
That’s something we’ve been working to change by fighting for bills like the Local FARMS Act. Building on that progress is going to be a big focus in the next Farm Bill.
We need to make it easier for farmers to feed their communities and for consumers to buy local Ohio food and farm products.
That keeps money where it belongs: here in our communities.
When we invest in Ohio farmers, we help create jobs and opportunity in all the places that are too often overlooked in Washington – whether it’s rural towns or urban neighborhoods.
Sincerely,
Sherrod
