The SUSTAINS Act hitched a ride with the Omnibus Bill, meaning it didn’t pass as a standalone bill. It allows the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) under the United States Department of Agriculture, to accept contributions from private sources whether individuals, corporations, countries (China), foundations (Bill and Melinda Gates . . . ) or environmental groups (Sierra Club . . .) and allow those donors to have a say in determining how to manage agricultural land in America. Imagine China or an environmental group contributing funds to the USDA (American Prairie Restoration . . . ) and then declaring the land was now off limits for cattle ranching. This should be very concerning to everyone in America, not just the farmers and ranchers as it can have a huge impact on what food items get produced in our country (cricket meal in your cereal instead of corn or wheat).
SUSTAINS ACT Gives Unelected Bureaucrats and Potentially China or Environmental Groups Control Over Farmer’s and Rancher’s Production, Which In Turn Controls Consumption
