<\/a>Farm Bill May Come Up Again
\n<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

By Grace Boatright | gb********<\/span>@************<\/span>ge.org<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/a>National Grange Legislative Director<\/p>\n

American agriculture is in a gloomy state as the 2013 Farm Bill was defeated in the House last month. It needed 218 votes to pass but was rejected by a vote of 195 to 234. This is actually the first Farm Bill in history to be outright rejected by a legislative body. The clock is now ticking as Congress has less than a month to go before they break for August recess and then less than three weeks to consider a Farm Bill upon their return in September. The 2008 Farm Bill expired last year on September 30th<\/sup> and Congress simply extended its provisions for another year, giving them until September 30th<\/sup> of this year to reach a solution.<\/p>\n

As always, the largest conflict was the funding of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps). Many Democrats believed that the $20.5 billion in cuts to SNAP went too far while just as many Republicans thought that the cuts didn\u2019t go far enough. There was also an amendment proposed by Congressman Southerland (R-FL) that passed just moments before the vote was taken that would have applied federal welfare work requirements to the SNAP program. This did not sit well with many House Democrats who overwhelmingly voted against the bill.<\/p>\n

At this point, there are five ways that things could go. First, Congress could extend the provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill again. Obviously, this is not ideal as it would simply kick the can down the road again and not provide America\u2019s growers and producers with the stability they desperately need in the agricultural sector. Second, the House Agriculture Committee could reconvene and restructure their version of the Farm Bill so it is more likely to pass. Third, the House could negotiate with the Senate and try to reach an agreement on the Senate\u2019s Farm Bill, which passed in June by a vote of 66 to 27.<\/p>\n

Fourth, the House can split the Farm Bill into two bills and try to proceed from there. House leadership is attempting to do this as we speak. Last, and definitely the worst-case scenario, Congress could do nothing and let the 2008 Farm Bill extension expire on September 30th<\/sup>. This would automatically revert all agriculture policy back to the provisions of the original Farm Bill from the 1930\u2019s. To put this in perspective, the price of milk would skyrocket to $38 per hundredweight; it\u2019s currently around $13 per hundredweight for Class III skim milk.<\/p>\n

House leadership is considering going with the fourth option- splitting the bill into two bills: SNAP (food stamps) and an agricultural bill to fund farming programs. Removing the food stamp component from the Farm Bill has several pros and cons and the decision is proving to be very difficult for House leadership. Unlike many issues in Congress, the idea to split the bill in two does not fall on party lines; plenty of Republicans and Democrats want to keep it intact while plenty of Republicans and Democrats alike want to split it. For example, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) is a strong advocate for dividing the bill, while House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas would like to keep it intact.<\/p>\n

Advocates for keeping it intact claim that a division of the bill would result in a loss of support from urban legislators who have nothing to gain from passage of a Farm Bill but everything to lose from cutting food stamps. On the other hand, advocates for splitting it say that the food stamp component is always controversial and holds up progress and has nothing to do with farm policy anyway. In my opinion, both arguments are valid and this issue should be considered very carefully.<\/p>\n

Overall, we are still a long way from getting a full five-year Farm Bill. House Republicans are expected to meet July 10th<\/sup> to discuss immigration reform and the farm bill. If they can reach an agreement on how to structure the bill, we could see another vote taken as soon as July 11th<\/sup> or 12th<\/sup>. The National Grange will continue to monitor this issue very closely.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A life-size cut out of Grange founder Oliver Hudson Kelley helped raise money and entertain Grangers at the 124th Annual Washington State Session last week.<\/p>\n

Janice Knott and Shawn Moynihan, who will be participating in the Fourth Degree as part of the Kelley Farm Experience, took a moment to pose with the Kelley cut out that stood 5′ 5″ tall, the height approximated by Grange Historian and Trademark\/Brand Management Director Leroy Watson based on a photo of Kelley standing near a fence post.<\/p>\n

The Kelley cut out was honored as a special guest at the convention and helped our Kelley Farm Experience participants\u00a0raise more than $300 for their travel to the Kelley Farm in Elk River, Minn.<\/p>\n

Kelley will be traveling with Washington State Grange President Duane Hamp and his wife, National Pomona Christine Hamp, to the Kelley Farm, then will return to Washington to pose for photos in the Hamp’s garden.\u00a0 He is later expected to provide wise counsel to\u00a0Duane in his Olympia headquarters office.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n

<\/a>Interns Take in American Experience
\n<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nNational Grange Intern<\/p>\n

\"skyline\"<\/a>Yesterday I found myself sitting on the top floor of the Library of Congress looking out at Washington DC. For anyone who winds up here in the near future, it\u2019s a beautiful spot for lunch; the seemingly endless windows give a panoramic view of the DC skyline that rivals most postcards.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re eating at what feels like the top of the world, looking out at one of the most famous views in the world, it\u2019s hard not to feel lucky. This Summer Rachel Duan and I are interning at the National Grange for a few months. While I like to think we\u2019ve been helpful, I\u2019ve spent time working through trademark issues and Rachel has been busy updating our databases, I think we might just have got more out of the Grange than we\u2019ve given to it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been an educational experience in so many ways, coming from a non-agriculture based background it\u2019s been eye-opening to learn so much about both the achievements and the difficulties of those living and working in rural communities. For instance to learn that the average American farmer feeds 155 people a year genuinely shocked and impressed me. It\u2019s a staggering statistic when you consider that in many cases this doesn\u2019t refer to a huge farming corporation but instead to still largely family run businesses.<\/p>\n

These aren\u2019t considerations that cross the mind of the average urbanite, but the staff here at the Grange work hard to raise awareness of these monumental contributions to daily life. Last month I was lucky enough to see the Grange present the \u2018William Saunders Award for Rural Awareness\u2019 to RAM and listened to a touching speech from our Legislative Director Grace Boatright.<\/p>\n

Aside from that I\u2019ve been given a chance to see not just the inner workings of the American political system, but also to see how a grass-roots organization like the Grange can really bring the voice of the American population into the political fray.<\/p>\n

Yesterday Rachel and I were talking about everything that had surprised us about America (she\u2019s freshly landed from China and this is my first trip to the USA). I made a joke about loving the food, I haven\u2019t had a meal here yet I didn\u2019t like. Rachel was more serious minded than me though, after thinking for a she exclaimed \u201cIt\u2019s just so easy to talk to their politicians!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0I couldn\u2019t help but agree, the ease of access to Congress is half baffling and half amazing. And an organization like the Grange takes full advantage of this opportunity using the strength of their numbers to make sure the voice of their 160 000 members is heard. Seeing this kind of campaigning so up-close and personal is pretty inspiring and really makes you sit back and think about how you as an individual can get involved with the politics that matters to you.<\/p>\n

The beauty of the Grange though, is that it\u2019s not just the desire to improve and help on the national level, it\u2019s channeled at the local level. The fund-raising and community building activities I hear about every day from the smaller Grange charters make me wish I\u2019d grown up Grange myself.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be sad to leave behind such a hard-working and welcoming organization next, but I think I\u2019ll be taking a lot with me. I\u2019ve learned to think about the experiences of those in a different environment, and I\u2019ve learned that anyone and more importantly everyone can help to improve their community.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n

<\/a>President’s Message: Time to be Proud<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

By Ed Luttrell | el*******<\/span>@************<\/span>ge.org<\/span><\/a>
\nNational Grange President<\/p>\n

\"EdFaded\"<\/a>2013 is a great year so far and I expect things to get even better before next January.<\/p>\n

A net gain in membership is the goal of every State Grange. Several have achieved this for the first quarter in many years. A number of State Grange Masters have notified me that it appears that their states will achieve a net gain for the membership year, July 1 to June 30. I am looking forward to seeing the quarterly reports arrive in about a month so that we can look at the hard numbers.<\/p>\n

New and reorganized Granges are being formed around the nation. National Grange Secretary Judy Sherrod and I recently signed the Charter for the first new Grange in Connecticut in about six decades and Washington has already started four Community Granges since last November.<\/p>\n

We are working on reorganizing a Grange in Arkansas and National Grange Membership\/Leadership Development Director Michael Martin believes we\u2019ll have enough charter members in July or August to submit that application. We have a number of leads in Louisiana and I have great expectations that by the end of the year we may have at least one new Grange there. \u00a0New York informed me that they are following up on three strong leads for new Granges. Tennessee has said that they hope to have a new Grange very soon. It seems that every month we are contacted by someone wanting to learn how to start a Grange. Most we turn over to their State Grange, but in those states where we don\u2019t have a presence, the National Grange does the follow up.<\/p>\n

Michael has been traveling the country, working with states in revitalizing our existing Granges. It appears that the number of states where a team approach to helping Granges has been implemented is showing positive results.<\/p>\n

We are seeing more interest in the Junior program across the nation. I am proud that the delegates to the National Session have been talking about the program and working to revitalize it. This November we\u2019ll see the By-Laws proposals in front of the body for final approval. This three-year debate and discussion on strengthening the program for kids 5 to 14 has been uplifting.<\/p>\n

The Youth program is growing in numbers and excitement.\u00a0 The Kelly Farm Experience will be bringing a large group of talented youth to Minnesota to demonstrate their commitment to excellence in the Grange. Not only are they participating in living history, but these youth are part of our members creating a growing future for the Grange.<\/p>\n

Master, Lecturers, and other officers, committee chairs, and our members are meeting the challenge of ensuring that the Grange adapts to the methods and tools of this century while never neglecting the values of our organization. It is truly a time to be proud of being a Granger.<\/p>\n

The reason there are so many things to be happy about is that Grange leadership and the membership that they serve are united in growing the Grange. I hope that this summer, each member asks someone to join their Grange and become part of our exciting organization!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n

\"yputh2\"<\/a>Do you know what 212 degrees means? If you have attended a regional youth conference, you do. This year, we are focusing on how Grange youth and young adults can move the one degree from good to great in their local Granges. Remember, at 211 degrees, water is just hot. At 212 degrees, it boils and makes steam. Steam can power a locomotive.<\/p>\n

Grange youth have built plans on actions they can take in their local granges to help move their Grange from good to great.<\/p>\n

In addition to workshops, youth and young adults have been competing in regional speech, public speaking and Grange Jeopardy contests. Speeches have been running a wide variety of topics from bullying to animal welfare and restoring tractors and from historical figures to how technology impacts our lives.<\/p>\n

Grange youth and young adults are showcasing their signing skills with unique song interpretations using American Sign Language (ASL) and Pigeon Signed English.<\/p>\n

This week will be the Mid-Western Regional Youth Conference and in the next couple of weeks will be the Southeastern and Western Regional conferences. Make sure to sign up and join your fellow Grangers for fun, education and fellowship!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n

\"business-handshake2\"<\/a>How do you personally welcome new members to your Grange? You and I are the \u201cface\u201d of the Grange. How we interact with new members is how they will perceive our Grange to be. We must be the one to greet them. Do not leave it to the new member to introduce him or herself to you.<\/p>\n

Your first action toward a new member will influence their perception of our organization. Do you greet new members, and guests or visitors, with a smile and a handshake? Or, do you stare across the hall and wonder who they are and why they are in the building?<\/p>\n

Offer to explain the opening ceremony of a Grange meeting to new members or visitors. Answer their questions willingly. The Grange has many more officers than most organizations and that can be overwhelming or confusing to new members. What may seem so obvious to you and me may be a mystery to visitors. At the close of the meeting, invite new members and visitors to your table for refreshments. Do not leave them standing and wondering where they should sit. Be gracious.<\/p>\n

In case you are wondering if anyone is bringing in new members, 461 Granges across the nation had net gains in membership last year. Another 480 Granges brought in the same number of members as they lost. Nine state Granges had net gains in membership.<\/p>\n

I know if you work together to invite new members; to include them in your activities; and make them feel welcome, the next year will be a bright one for your Grange too. A saying I learned in Grange as a young man is that, \u201cIf it\u2019s to be it\u2019s up to me.\u201d I invite you to adopt this philosophy in your Grange.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n
