"As Maine's organic farmers face increasing challenges from changing global markets, climate change, and more, we must continue to provide resources and support to help them evolve with the times. The Organic Market Development Act would codify an existing, and highly in demand, grant program to ensure the continuance of grant funding to Maine's organic farmers so that they can respond to these challenges and pave the way for the future of the organic food industry. Thanks to my colleagues, Senator Baldwin, and Representatives Pingree and Kuster, for supporting Maine farmers and the entire American agriculture industry."
