🚜TOMORROW: I'm kicking off a two-day, district-wide farm tour to hear directly from farmers in central and western Massachusetts.
Here's why. (hint: it's #ClimateChange)
Here's why. (hint: it's #ClimateChange)
🌡️Raising temperatures.
🦗Invasive species.
🌪️Drought and unstable weather.
Small family farms in Massachusetts are on the front lines of #ClimateChange. We need policies that help — yet too often, the rich and powerful write laws that favor big corporate farms instead.

⌛️This isn't some far-off threat.
Family farms are already losing money and producing less because of climate change. Yet in the halls of Congress, there's not nearly enough people listening to the farmers that are bearing the brunt of this crisis.

✅So I'm visiting 9 farms tomorrow to talk about how #ClimateChange is impacting agriculture across #Massachusetts.
I'll use what I learn to keep fighting for a #GreenNewDeal so that future generations of farmers can continue to nourish our country and protect our land.
