What We Do

Last night, the deadline to avert a government shutdown passed as Congress failed to approve a continuing resolution (CR) for short-term government funding. In preparation for this shutdown, The White House Office of Management and Budget has instructed agencies to prepare reduction-in-force plans, adding potentially permanent layoffs to the long list of negative shutdown consequences.

Over the last two years, the EEN community has rallied behind our nation’s farmers and ranchers, advocating for increased support to chronically oversubscribed and underfunded voluntary conservation agriculture programs. EEN’s efforts resulted in a historic success with the inclusion of a permanent funding increase to conservation agriculture programs in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA).

45Z, first introduced via the Inflation Reduction Act then enhanced under the One Big Beautiful Bill, has the opportunity to not only supercharge the American Soil Health Movement, but change global agriculture.
