I’m pleased to support Dr. Wilkes nomination to be Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment. I met him years ago in Mississippi. His lengthy public service clearly reflects his strong dedication to caring for the land & the diverse surrounding communities it serves

Protecting older and mature forests across the world is essential to addressing the climate crisis.  Reinstating the Roadless Rule and ending old-growth logging on the Tongass National Forests is a great step forward in this effort.

Congratulations @JohnKerry on being appointed as the nation’s first Special Presidential Envoy for Climate. Ranking Member @SenStabenow looks forward to working with him to address the climate crisis. https://t.co/iVTNt4JwAr

Thank you, @SenatorFischer, for signing onto the #GrowingClimateSolution Act. Momentum is growing behind bipartisan solutions to the climate crisis in Congress.

The 3.1 million acres the Trump Administration excluded from CRP is roughly the size of Connecticut. That land could have helped address the climate crisis by storing enough carbon to offset emissions from over one million cars for a year.

Today the Senate passed @SenStabenow's resolution declaring July #NationalBlueberryMonth and recognizing the contributions of blueberry farmers. Make sure to enjoy some delicious blueberries this summer!

RT @rileywpagett: .@SenStabenow makes the first mention of the next generation of agriculture. I'm telling you, we must invest in young people if we want to feed, fuel, and shelter a growing world. #NextGenAg #FarmBill18

@SenStabenow Meanwhile, other countries have moved in to take our market share. Brazil has increased its market share by more than 40% in the two years since the tariffs were imposed.

@SenStabenow While the President signed the Phase One agreement with China, there are no guarantees farmers will recover the market access they lost. Since the signing, soybean prices have decreased by 7%, instead of improving. https://t.co/tYvu3WVoe8

@SenStabenow Instead of targeting assistance to small operations and beginning farms that are more vulnerable, the Administration doubled the maximum payment farms can receive from $125,000 to $250,000. https://t.co/DyDsMt0Ggy

@SenStabenow The last payments will flow to counties that had higher payment rates, which are disproportionately in the South. Georgia is projected to receive over $110 per acre, while over 30 states remain below $40 per acre. https://t.co/ScJ7DT2srr

THREAD: USDA announced the final installment of 2019 MFP payments this week. A new analysis from @SenStabenow shows continued disparities in the trade assistance program, which have skewed benefits to Southern states, certain crops, and larger farms. https://t.co/bMuKlwxjiq
