Over the previous 12 months, Georgia Organics has traveled to the U.S. Capitol 3 times to argue for a extra organic-friendly Farm Invoice. On every of the journeys, Georgia Organics introduced alongside farmers who’re energetic advocates for extra help for small- to mid-scale sustainable growers. 

In all, Georgia Organics, together with farmers Russell Brydson of Slim Approach Farm in McDonough, Ga., Logan Petrey of Grimmway Farms in Lake Park, Ga., and Georgia Organics Board Chair CheFarmer Matthew Raiford of Gilliard Farms in Brunswick, Ga., have met with the next members of Congress, or their legislative workers: 

 

  • Rep. Austin Scott, R-GA eighth District, Vice Chair of the Home Ag Committee 

  • Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock, D-GA, Member of the Senate Ag Committee 

  • Sen. John Boozman, R-AR, Rating Member Senate Ag Committee 

  • Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-MI, Chair of the Senate Ag Committee  

  • Rep. Glenn “GT” Thompson, R- PA fifteenth District, Chair of the Home Ag Committee Chair 

  • Rep. David Scott, D-GA thirteenth District, Rating Member of the Home Ag Committee  

  • Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-GA  

  • Rep. Nikema Williams, D-GA fifth District 

  • Rep. Sanford Bishop, D-GA 2nd District, Member of the Home Ag and Appropriations Committees 

Nearly the entire conversations have been civil and respectful, with Congressional members and workers who’re working arduous for his or her constituents and the agriculture neighborhood.
