America’s Heartland Faces Another Challenge: Legislation
MICHELLE MADRID
August 17, 2024
Farmers Face Crisis Once More
In the heartland of America, where the soil meets the sky, the fate of the nation's agriculture hangs in the balance as Congress grapples with the farm bill, a critical piece of legislation that shapes the lives of millions. Marc Arnusch, a seasoned farmer from Weld County, has been monitoring the legislative process keenly. "I watch that process fairly closely," Arnusch stated, emphasizing the bill's significance. "The farm bill is easily the largest legislation that'll affect farms and ranches across the country."
Every five years, the farm bill comes up for renewal, setting the stage for a national debate on agriculture and food policy. The current bill, extended amidst congressional deadlock, is set to expire in September 2024. Arnusch expressed his frustration, noting, "It was a little bit of disappointment. We were hoping that we could get the farm bill passed before the political wheels of a presidential election." He highlighted the dynamic nature of farming today, contrasting it sharply with the static nature of the legislation. "There's very little within my farm today that was the same as in 2018. Whether it was the cost of production, input prices, commodity prices, even the way we manage our farm has changed significantly since 2018. National ag policy needs to evolve with our evolving farms."
The stalemate in Washington is more than a bureaucratic delay; it's a crisis for farmers like Danny Wood from Peetz, Colorado. "We're in a crisis at the moment. We need some help at the moment, and anything they do seems to take a year or two to come into effect," Wood lamented. His frustration is palpable, especially as he faces a drought that threatens his crops. "It seems to me like that that puts a message out to me that it's not that important to them. They figure, well, they'll still be there when we come back next year. Well, not all the farmers are going to be here next year," he added, underscoring the urgency of the situation.

FBI Alert: China Attacks Critical U.S. Infrastructure
National Security Reports China's Attacks On Critical U.S. Electric Grid, Food Supply and Water Systems FBI Director Wray warns China has successfully gained access to companies throughout the U.S. in energy, telecommunications, water and has targeted 23 pipeline operators. Another shocking report reveals there have already been more than 70 attacks on America's power grid in a single year. Security experts have raised the alarm for years about the most vulnerable aspect of infrastructure in the United States that puts you and your family in critical danger: Our crumbling electric grid. Officials report that attacks on just 9 of the nation's 55,000 electrical substations could result in nationwide blackouts for up to 18 months. Your life would be frozen in time right at the moment the power fails. Lights all over the country would go out, throwing people into total chaos and darkness. Our enemies would just sit back and watch as we self-destruct through looting, rioting and the targeting of police officers. Our government is woefully unprepared. Are you and your family prepared to survive as much as 18 months without electricity, food or clean water? It seems like the government has been fixated on taking more and more away from people who worked hard to earn it, while doing virtually nothing to secure our nation's critical infrastructure.
