John Wilker 👨🏽‍💻Time to watch our elected's. Any Dem that votes with Republicans on this budget, need to be primaried and voted out. Hard Stop. No exceptions.It won't be D's fault the gov't shuts down. They owe nothing to the majority and are in a slight position of negotiating power. Not using that position is selling out the country.

DoomsdaysCWNOT JUST MAINE! <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USDA</a> ending local purchasing programs for# Maine <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodBanks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FoodBanks</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/schools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#schools</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MainePublic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MainePublic</a> | By Nicole Ogrysko Published March 12, 2025"The U.S. Department of Agriculture is ending two national programs that help food banks and schools in Maine — and around the country — purchase produce from local farmers."USDA told Maine officials and partners late last week that it has terminated the Local Food Purchase Assistance Program. It helped <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GoodShepherd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoodShepherd</a> Food Bank buy produce from about 100 Maine farmers, which is then distributed to local food banks around the state."'That program is incredibly important to the state of Maine, both in food today — food that we source and distribute today — and in food tomorrow, which is the economic viability for those 100 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farmers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#farmers</a> and for our partner agencies to experience fresh, nutritious produce," said Good Shepherd President Heather Paquette."At the same time, Paquette said the food bank recently learned that USDA will stop delivering about 1 million pounds of food through the Emergency Food Assistance Program to Maine. Those deliveries are on hold for Good Shepherd — and food banks around the country — through at least June."Paquette said the USDA delivery represented about 20% of food that Good Shepherd moves around the state."The cuts — both to government food deliveries and to funds that Good Shepherd used to buy local produce — are concerning, Paquette said, because more Mainers are experiencing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodInsecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FoodInsecurity</a>."Our need is up every year," she said. 'This year we distributed 10% more food cases than we distributed the year before that, and that year was 10% over the [prior] year. So we're experiencing double-digit need increase in the state of Maine.'"A spokesperson for the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry said the state received about $1.3 million for the Local Food Purchase Assistance program."USDA has also terminated the Local Food for Schools program, which provided more than $720,000 last year to Maine schools. Schools used those funds to buy food directly from local farmers to serve in their cafeterias."The program provided a big boost to the state's farmers, because more than 100,000 students eat at Maine schools every day, said Anna Korsen of the food security non-profit Full Plates Full Potential."'That has a huge impact on local economies, on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SmallFarms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SmallFarms</a>, and it's just better for kids," she said. 'The food's healthier, they're getting fresh, local foods in the school cafeteria.'"A spokesperson for Maine's Department of Education said the state was expected to receive nearly $2.8 million for the Local <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodForSchools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FoodForSchools</a> program over the next three years. The funding was supposed to be disbursed later this spring."Maine still has a statewide local food purchasing program for schools. But Korsen said the federal program provided more purchasing power for Maine schools. In 2023 before Maine received federal <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LFS</a> funding, schools in the Pine Tree State spent just more than $168,000 on local food, Korsen said."These USDA programmatic cuts are separate from those that the department is making at the University of Maine System [which were just reversed]. And unlike those impacting UMaine, the termination of USDA's local purchasing programs affects food banks and schools around the country." <a href="https://www.mainepublic.org/business-and-economy/2025-03-12/usda-ending-local-purchasing-programs-for-maine-food-banks-and-schools" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.mainepublic.org/business-and-economy/2025-03-12/usda-ending-local-purchasing-programs-for-maine-food-banks-and-schools</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KillThePoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KillThePoor</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MadKingTrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MadKingTrump</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RESIST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RESIST</a>! <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FoodIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorkingPoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WorkingPoor</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNAP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SNAP</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveTheFarms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SaveTheFarms</a>
