Food Policy Action was established in 2012 through a collaboration of national food policy leaders in order to hold legislators accountable on votes that have an effect on food and farming. Our goal is to change the national dialogue on food policy by educating the public on how elected officials are voting on these issues.

Our mission is to highlight the importance of food policy and to promote policies that support healthy diets, reduce hunger at home and abroad, improve food access and affordability, uphold the rights and dignity of food and farm workers, increase transparency, improve public health, reduce the risk of food-borne illness, support local and regional food systems, protect and maintain sustainable fisheries, treat farm animals humanely and reduce the environmental impact of farming and food production. Food Policy Action promotes positive policies through education and publication of the National Food Policy Scorecard.

Through education and the National Food Policy Scorecard, more people will be armed with the information they need to vote with their forks and elect more food policy leaders across the country.

HOW VOTES ARE SCOREDThe National Food Policy Scorecard is your go-to source for information about the most important food policy legislation considered by the House and Senate each year. The Scorecard reflects the consensus of top food policy experts who select the key food policy votes, bills and amendments each year. The scored food policy issues include domestic and international hunger, food safety, food access, farm subsidies, animal welfare, food and farm labor, nutrition, food additives, food transparency, local and regional food production, sustainable fisheries, organic farming and the effects of food production on the environment. The National Food Policy Scorecard lets you identify which legislators are working for sensible food policies.

2012 FOOD SCORECARD | FOODPOLICYACTION.ORG 5

1. COBURN DIRECT PAYMENTS AMENDMENTSenate amendment 791 to Senate amendment 738 to H.R. 2112 (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment made highly profitable farmers (earning in excess of $1 million a year in adjusted gross income) ineligible for federal farm subsidies known as direct payments. Previously, farmers earning as much as $1.25 million a year (or $2.5 million for married couples) could collect direct payments and other subsidies, which go overwhelmingly to the largest, most profitable farm businesses. Common sense caps on eligibility allow smaller farms to compete on a level playing field.

2. SESSIONS SNAP AMENDMENT #1Senate amendment 810 to Senate amendment 738 to H.R. 2112 (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment to the appropriations bill to fund the U.S. Department of Agriculture for fiscal year 2012 would have prevented states from using “categorical eligibility” rules to distribute nutrition assistance benefits. The U.S. Department of Agriculture allows many states to use categorical eligibility to make it easier for low-income households to enroll in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps, and to reduce the administrative costs for state agencies.

3. FEINSTEIN ETHANOL SUBSIDY AMENDMENTSenate Amendment 476 to S. 782 (Economic Development Revitalization Act of 2011)

Vote Info: This amendment eliminated the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit for gasoline refiners that blend ethanol with gasoline and the tariff on imported ethanol. Both measures provide unnecessary support for the domestic ethanol industry, which has grown dramatically as a result of the corn ethanol mandate. The ethanol industry consumes 40 percent of the U.S. corn crop, encourages cultivation on marginal and sensitive land, increases the use of farm chemicals, and drives up the price of food and livestock feed.

4. SANDERS GMO LABELING AMENDMENTSenate amendment 2310 to S. 3240 (Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment sought to ensure that states are able to require labeling of foods that contain genetically modified ingredients and that are sold within their borders. Several states have passed or are considering such laws. Industry is seeking to prevent state-by-state labeling requirements. Many consumers and scientists remain concerned about the potential impact of genetically modified organisms on human and environmental health.

SENATE VOTES SCORED


5. CHAMBLISS CONSERVATION COMPLIANCE AMENDMENTSenate amendment 2438 to S. 3240 (Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment requires farmers who receive crop insurance subsidies to maintain basic conservation practices. Beginning in 1985, all farm subsidy programs were tied to these “conservation compliance” commitments, which established a compact between farmers and taxpayers to ensure that tax dollars do not subsidize the loss of precious topsoil from sensitive lands or the destruction of wetlands. Insurance subsidies were removed from this compact in 1996.

6. LEE CONSERVATION AMENDMENTSenate amendment 2314 to S. 3240 (Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment would have eliminated two of the programs that help farmers protect water, air, soil and wildlife habitat. The Conservation Reserve Program is the federal government‘s largest conservation program, providing landowners with rental payments to prevent erosion and water pollution and protect wildlife habitat by keeping marginal, sensitive or other land out of cultivation. The Conservation Stewardship Program provides financial incentives for farmers and ranchers to improve their environmental performance by implementing better farming practices.

7. MERKLEY ORGANIC AMENDMENTSenate Amendment 2382 to S. 3240 (Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment requires USDA to provide subsidized crop insurance policies that reflect the full market value of organic crops. These crops typically are worth more than conventional crops because of more stringent production requirements. But federal crop insurance policies do not reflect the crops‘ higher value. If organic farmers suffer a loss, indemnities cover only a portion of the crop‘s real value.

8. GILLIBRAND SNAP AMENDMENTSenate amendment 2156 to S. 3240 (Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment would have restored $4.5 billion in cuts made to SNAP funding and increased the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Snack Program in schools by a third. It would have paid for these changes by reducing federal subsidies to insurance companies that sell federal crop insurance policies.

9. TOOMEY ORGANIC CERTIFICATION AMENDMENTSenate amendment 2217 to S. 3240 (Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment would eliminate the organic certification cost share program, which helps organic farmers defray the cost of having their operations and products certified as organic. Organic producers voluntarily accept the extensive regulatory requirements needed to meet organic standards.

10. SESSIONS SNAP BONUS PAYMENT AMENDMENTSenate amendment 2172 to S. 3240 (Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment would end bonus payments to states that use their outreach and administration funding effectively to enroll eligible participants in the SNAP (food stamps) program.

11. CANTWELL PULSE AMENDMENTSenate Amendment 2370 to S. 3240 (Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment instructs USDA‘s school lunch and school breakfast programs to purchase “pulse crops” such as dry beans and lentils, as well as processed foods containing pulse crops. Research has shown these foods to be healthy sources of protein, fiber and other nutrients that can contribute to healthy diets, often at lower cost than other protein sources. Including pulse crops in school meals could improve nutrition for schoolchildren and increase farmers‘ interest in planting these crops.

12. SESSIONS SNAP AMENDMENT #2Senate amendment 2174 to S. 3240 (Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment would have prevented states from using categorical eligibility rules to distribute federal nutrition assistance dollars. This amendment, however, would have locked in this change for the full five years of the farm bill, rather than for just a single fiscal year.









SENATE VOTES SCORED


13. BROWN RURAL DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENTSenate amendment 2445 to S. 3240 (Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment provides $150 million for programs in the Rural Development title that help beginning farmers and ranchers, small farms and other rural businesses and rural communities. The base bill provided no mandatory funding for these programs, but the amendment restored funding to several programs critical to local food and farm economies and communities.

14. GRASSLEY PAYMENT LIMIT AMENDMENTSenate amendment 2167 to S. 3240 (Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment capped the amount of money farmers could collect from federal loan subsidy programs for marketing their crops. Unlike other farm subsidy programs, there were no limits in these loan programs, essentially allowing large farms to get unlimited federal commodity subsidies. Payment limits, a long-standing feature of other farm subsidy programs, favor smaller producers who receive less federal assistance, reduce market distortions from subsidies, and save taxpayer money.

15. JOHANNS FARM SURVEILLANCE AMENDMENTSenate Amendment 2372 to S. 3240 (Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment would have prevented the Environmental Protection Agency from using aerial surveillance in order to monitor agricultural operations‘ compliance with clean water regulations. This tool is used primarily to monitor large animal feeding operations, where manure spills into water bodies are easily identifiable from the air. Congress does not restrict how the agency monitors other industries.

16. THUNE MEANS TESTING AMENDMENTSenate amendment 2437 to S. 3240 (Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment sought to preempt the Durbin-Coburn amendment to reduce crop insurance premium subsidies to farmers earning more than $750,000 a year in adjusted gross income. The Thune amendment would have barred implementation of the Durbin-Coburn amendment if administrative spending increased as a result of implementing new limits on crop insurance subsidies.

SENATE VOTES SCORED


17. MUROWSKI GMO SALMON AMENDMENTSenate amendment 2108 (Murkowski) to S. 3187 (Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act)

Vote Info: This amendment to the FDA user fee reauthorization bill would have required the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to conduct an environmental review of genetically modified (GM) salmon before FDA allowed it into the food supply. In 2010, GM salmon became the first genetically modified animals to receive preliminary FDA approval for use as food, but continuing concerns about the health and environmental impacts have thus far kept the fish off the market.

18. DURBIN-COBURN MEANS TESTINGSenate Amendment 2439 (Durbin-Coburn) to S. 3240 (Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment reduces the federal subsidy for crop insurance premiums by 15 percent for farmers with an annual adjusted gross income of more than $750,000. In contrast to traditional commodity subsidies, the subsidies for purchasing federally-backed crop insurance are not subject to an income test or payment limit. Currently, taxpayers cover on average 62 percent of the cost of a farmer‘s premiums. Rather than denying insurance subsidies to large farmers, the amendment simply requires the most profitable farmers to pay a larger share of their insurance premiums.





1. PROCEEDING TO HOUSE BUDGETVote Info: This was a procedural vote to consider the budget introduced by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Ind.). This budget would have profound effects on the food and farm system. Although the Ryan budget would cut $30 billion over 10 years from wasteful farm subsidy programs, it proposed to cut $133.5 billion from SNAP and $16 billion from farm conservation programs. These severe cuts to discretionary spending would affect other nutrition assistance such as the Women, Infants and Children supplemental feeding program.

SENATE MEMBER PARTY SCORE SENATE MEMBER PARTY SCORE

SENATE MEMBERS SCORED


1. FARM DUST REGULATION PREVENTION ACT OF 2011H.R. 1633 (Noem) Farm Dust Regulation Prevention Act

Vote Info: This bill seeks to prevent the EPA from enacting limits under the Clean Air Act on dust and other particulate matter that may accumulate in rural areas, despite EPA‘s repeated insistence that it has no intention of doing so. The bill establishes a new class of “nuisance dust” and other particulate matter that typically might be stirred up by farming activities, driving on unpaved roads, etc. The bill hampers EPA‘s ability to enforce provisions of the Clean Air Act that prevent asthma and other illnesses that cause or contribute to premature death.

2. DELAURO E. COLI AMENDMENTHouse amendment 420 to H.R. 2112 (Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment would have moved $1 million from USDA administrative accounts to provide additional funding for the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition to better protect against E. coli contamination in the food supply.

3. FARR ORGANIC AMENDMENT House amendment 424 to H.R. 2112 (Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment added $300,000 to USDA‘s budget for the Organic Data Initiative. Collection and distribution of organic pricing and marketing information is crucial for proper functioning of the marketplace. USDA has collected such data for decades for conventional crops.

4. BROUN WIC AMENDMENTHouse amendment 438 to H.R. 2112 (Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment would have cut $604 million from the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). The WIC program provides crucial nutrition assistance to low-income pregnant women and their young children in order to ensure proper fetal and newborn growth and development. Adequate nutrition can mean the difference between a healthy, productive child and one who is afflicted by low birth weight, birth defects and mental or physical handicaps.

5. FOXX WIC AMENDMENTHouse amendment 440 to H.R. 2112 (Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment targeted a peer counseling initiative within the WIC program aimed at helping women learn to breast-feed. This service has been an important tool in helping low-income mothers to provide the best nutrition and care to their newborns. The amendment would have cut all funding for the initiative.

6. BROUN FOOD FOR PEACE AMENDMENTHouse amendment 443 to H.R. 2112 (Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment would have nearly eliminated foreign food aid by cutting $940 million from Title II of the Food For Peace program. Food For Peace grants are the United States‘ primary form of foreign food aid, designed to help alleviate severe hunger and increase political stability around the world. Federal purchases of the food commodities also benefit American farms and transportation businesses.

7. BROUN MCGOVERN-DOLE AMENDMENTHouse amendment 444 to H.R. 2112 (Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment would have eliminated the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program grants. The McGovern-Dole grants were developed in recognition that, just as schools can be an important source of nutrition for low-income children here in the U.S., so too can they help improve child nutrition in other countries. Proper nutrition during childhood improves health and productivity in adulthood, promoting economic and political stability.

8. PINGREE KNOW YOUR FARMER AMENDMENTHouse amendment 450 to H.R. 2112 (Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment sought to strike a burdensome reporting requirement from USDA‘s “Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food” initiative. This program seeks to connect people to the food they eat and the people who grow it by promoting farmers‘ markets, farm-to-school initiatives and other local distribution channels. The underlying bill requires that any travel expenses in support of “Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food” be reported electronically to Congress.









HOUSE VOTES SCORED


9. FOXX KNOW YOUR FARMER AMENDMENTHouse amendment 451 to H.R. 2112 (Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment would have eliminated all funding for USDA‘s “Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food” initiative.

10. BLUMENAUER PAYMENT LIMIT AMENDMENTHouse Amendment 460 to H.R. 2112 (Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment would have capped at $125,000 the amount an individual grower could receive from the suite of federal commodity production subsidies. Under current law, the marketing loan provisions of the Commodity Title have no payment limits. This means growers are eligible for potentially unlimited benefits from these programs, even though other commodity subsidy programs are subject to limits.

11. FLAKE MEANS TESTING AMENDMENTHouse Amendment 478 to H.R. 2112 (Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012)

Vote Info: This amendment would have lowered from $1.25 million to $250,000 a year the income limit for individuals to be eligible to receive federal farm subsidies. The current limit is $2.5 million for a married couple, impacting few farm businesses. A more reasonable limit would ensure that scarce federal dollars go to those who truly need assistance. Currently, 74 percent of farm subsidy dollars go to the top 10 percent of producers.

12. REDUCING REGULATORY BURDENS ACT OF 2011H.R. 872 (Gibbs) Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act of 2011

Vote Info: This bill amends federal law governing the use of pesticides (the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, or FIFRA) and the Clean Water Act to prohibit the EPA or a state from requiring a permit to discharge a pesticide from a point source into navigable waters, so long as the pesticide is approved for use under FIFRA. Proponents of the bill claim it is unnecessary and burdensome for farmers to obtain permits in order to conduct routine pesticide spraying near or over water bodies adjacent to streams, and that FIFRA regulation is the best way to control pesticide contamination of public water supplies. The federal Clean Water Act, however, is the appropriate and most effective means to limit toxic discharges into water bodies.









HOUSE VOTES SCORED


13. SULLIVAN E15 AMENDMENTHouse amendment 156 to H.R. 1 (Full Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011)

Vote Info: This amendment would prevent the EPA from allowing higher amounts of ethanol in gasoline. Currently, most gasoline for general use can contain no more than 10 percent ethanol, but the EPA has moved to raise the limit to 15 percent. Ethanol production for fuel already consumes 40 percent of the U.S. corn crop, creating enormous pressure to expand cultivation, causing environmental harm, and contributing to higher food prices. EPA‘s proposal is currently being challenged in federal court.

1. REINS ACT FINAL PASSAGE H.R. 10 Regulations From the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 2011

Vote Info: This bill subjects federal agencies to new oversight and scrutiny from Congress when making rules and regulations to carry out federal law. The bill requires any major new rule - defined as one with an effect of $100 million or more on the economy or that has a measurable impact on national security, health and safety, or consumer prices - be approved by Congress before going into effect.

2. RYAN BUDGET House Concurrent Resolution 112 Establishing the budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2013 and setting forth appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2014 through 2022

Vote Info: This vote to approve the budget introduced by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Ind.) would have profound effects on the food and farm system. Although the Ryan budget would cut $30 billion over 10 years from wasteful farm subsidy programs, it proposed to cut $133.5 billion from SNAP and $16 billion from farm conservation programs. These severe cuts to discretionary spending would affect other nutrition assistance such as the Women, Infants and Children supplemental feeding program.

14. AGRICULTURAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE ACTH.R. 6233 (Lucas) (Agricultural Disaster Assistance Act)

Vote Info: This bill provides disaster relief to livestock producers and some specialty crop growers who are experiencing severe drought or other natural disasters this year. While assistance for farmers and ranchers who do not have access to crop insurance is warranted, the bill cuts $383 million from conservation programs to pay for the drought relief and an additional $256 million from conservation to help reduce the federal deficit. Conservation programs help farmers to implement farming practices that improve soil health and ameliorate the effects of drought.
