- Transcript Hello, this is your congresswoman, Lori Chavez Derimer at 202-25-5711 I was calling to invite you to join a live telephone town hall I'm holding right now. I wanted to give you a few updates on a bipartisan bill I introduced to prevent fentanyl from being smuggled across the southern border. My work to make ivf treatments more affordable and other ways. I'm working on your behalf in Congress. I will take questions from you, too. Just stay on the line to be connected. Please hold while we connect you to your access live event. This access live event is currently in progress. Please note that this call may be monitored, recorded, or rebroadcast. Submitted online it looks like Frank from Albany. You're asking a question online for an update on the current status of the farm bill. Is that correct? Okay, Frank, here we go. Farm bill update over the last year and a half, I worked closely with the Oregon farmers, foresters, ranchers, along with my colleagues on the AG committee to write that effective farm bill. My priorities included working to improve workforce training opportunities in forestry and timber industries, reducing wildfire risks, making sure that we're supporting our specialty crops here in Oregon, including new and beginning farmers, strengthen broadband, expand child care options for families in the rural areas, and enhance the farm safety net, as well as the SNAP program. And in May, the Ag committee passed our bipartisan farm bill, which includes over a dozen bipartisan bills that I help lead to ensure our rural communities have the resources they need to grow and thrive in that farm bill. Specialty Crop Security Act Alyssa Slotkin from Michigan to introduce the bipartisan legislation and make sure that we have enough specialty crop block grant program to increase that. The farm bill increased funding for the program by $15 million. And I think that that's going to go a long way in supporting our long term success of these specialty crops that are so desperate here in Oregon. Also, the SWAT act, for those of you introduced this bipartisan legislation as well with slotkin to help prevent those specialty crop losses. We're finding invasive fruit flies that damage the fruit crops, such as the blueberries and the strawberries. So we wanted to make sure that language is included as a high priority for research and extension in the farm bill as well. And then one of the things that we've heard, and I mentioned it more than once on these calls, expanding childcare in rural America. I joined Glucon Camp Perez from the state of Washington to expand and help introduce the bipartisan legislation which would require the USDA to prioritize the projects that address the availability, the quality and the cost of that childcare. We're finding more and more of our farmers in ranchers.
