Supported efforts to swiftly and effectively implement the dairy provisions of the 2018 Farm Bill, including the Dairy Margin Coverage program and expanded access to the Livestock Gross Margin program. Child Nutrition - NMPF is monitoring and educating Congress on the effects of child nutrition legislation and programs for dairy farmers, cooperatives, and consumers. NMPF supports efforts to increase kids' access to dairy through nutrition programs. This includes reinstating 1% flavored milk in school breakfast and lunch programs, including as part of the Fiscal Year 2022 Agriculture-FDA Appropriations Act (H.R. 4356, S. 2599), the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act (H.R. 1861), the School Milk Nutrition Act (H.R. 4635), the Healthy Meals, Healthy Kids Act (H.R. 8450), and the forthcoming FNS rule on school meal standards for the 2024-25 school year and beyond. Also worked to include nutritional equivalency requirement for milk alternatives in school meal programs in the Healthy Meals, Healthy Kids Act (H.R. 8450). Met with congressional offices and USDA staff to voice concern on FNS's proposed rule which reduces the amount of dairy in WIC food packages, among other things ("Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC): Revisions in the WIC Food Packages" published November 21,2022). Additional Nutrition Policy Areas - Supported efforts to increase funding for SNAP and other nutrition programs as well as USDA's flexibility in implementing these programs to support food insecure households during the downturn caused by and the ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Supported the GIVE MILK Act (H.R. 818) to increase milk consumption under the WIC program. Urged White House to prioritize increasing food access and protecting choice at its White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. Supported legislative and administrative efforts to improve and modify dairy policy, including providing relief to dairy farmers for uncompensated COVID-19-related losses. COVID-19 - Supported the continued implementation of agricultural provisions of the 2020 COVID relief packages [CARES Act (H.R. 748), Families First Coronavirus Response Act (H.R. 6201), HEROES Act (H.R. 6800), and Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (H.R. 133) as signed into law on December 27, 2020] as well as the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (H.R. 1319) to provide relief to farmers and families from the COVID-19 pandemic. Also supported related administrative actions, including Coronavirus Food Assistance Program payments, product purchases, milk disposal compensation, and milk donation assistance. Supported efforts to ensure agricultural producers have access to the capital required to continue operating during and recover from a disaster, including the Paycheck Protection Clarification for Producers Act (H.R. 1246). Supported the Feed Emergency Enhancement During Disasters Act (H.R. 1240, S. 359) to provide farmers with additional flexibility relating to prevented planting requirements due to shortages in feed, as well as related administrative actions. Supported the Broadband for Rural America Act (H.R. 3369), which increases funding for and streamlines broadband development programs, including bringing programs together under the single roof of USDA. Supported the Broadband Internet Connections for Rural America Act (H.R. 4374). Supported the 2020 WHIP+ Reauthorization Act (H.R. 267) as passed by the House Agriculture Committee. Measure reauthorizes the WHIP-Milk Loss program and makes dairy cooperatives eligible to make payments to producers. Supported similar provisions of the Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act (H.R. 5305).
