”I applaud the inclusion of both the Growing Climate Solutions Act and the SUSTAINS Act in the omnibus appropriations bill under consideration by Congress. I would especially like to recognize the leadership of the chief sponsors of each bill—Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and Representative Glenn Thompson (R-Pa.)–in getting these bills included in this end-of-year package. This action affirms Congress’s support for programs and projects to promote climate-smart agricultural practices that are voluntary, science-based, and incentive-focused.”
