Project 2025: How it hurts farmers
– The U.S. Department of Agriculture should be scaled back, because “the USDA’s `client’ is the American people in general, not a subset of interests, such as farmers, meatpackers, environmental groups, etc.” (page 290).
– Extreme weather has been hurting farmers in the past few years, but the GOP wants to get rid of initiatives that help farmers deal with the effects of climate change on farmers and food production (page 293).
– The GOP wants to cut back farm subsidies: “The overall goal should be to eliminate subsidy dependence” (page 295) because subsidies create “market distortions.” The federal sugar program, for example, “intentionally tries to restrict supply and thereby drives up prices. The program costs consumers as much as $3.7 billion a year” (page 294).
– “Stop paying farmers twice for price and revenue losses during the same year. Farmers can receive support from the ARC or PLC programs and the federal crop insurance program to cover price declines and revenue shortfalls during the same year. Congress should prohibit this duplication” (page 297).
– Eliminate the Conservation Reserve Program: “Farmers should not be paid in such a sweeping way not to farm their land” (page 304).
– Shrink the Farm Services Agency (page 310)
Research by STOP THE COUP
Infographic design tips
DemLabs and Stop The Coup designed this infographic using the Infogram app. Follow these guidelines to design your infographic.
1. Keep it simple. The infographic isn’t meant to be a substitute for the full research. We chose only six key aspects of Project 2025 to highlight in the infographic.
2. Use icons and images to make your content easier to understand visually.
3. Minimize the color selection to improve visibility. We used Red, White, Black and Blue.
4. Use animation to draw attention to your ‘Call To Action’. See how the appeal to join the protest is ‘pulsing’.
5. Provide links to more information. Clicking on any of the six items leads to a Google Doc with more details. The infographic also has a link to the 900 page Project 2025 document.
6. An image from the Yellowstone TV series is used in the title. It’s especially relevant as the story is about the struggle to save a family farm.
