Save Our Bacon Act overrides CO state law

The House passed the Farm Bill 4/30 (224-200) and there's a section called the Save Our Bacon Act that nullifies ~500 state agriculture laws — including ones Coloradans passed by direct vote. Whatever you think about HB22-1343 specifically, the principle is: federal megafarm lobbyists wrote a bill to override state laws coast-to-coast, including in CO.

Sen. Bennet sits on Senate Ag and is in the room writing the Senate version of markup this month. Call 719-328-1100 — 60 seconds — "please strip the Save Our Bacon Act language from the Senate Farm Bill markup." Federalism cuts both ways.
