Excited to see more OK schools take advantage of this USDA funded opportunity. I expect more news like this due to a very wonky tech policy option the state took last year (and that Hunger Free Oklahoma advocated for) that uses data to make it easier for schools to adopt this program.

Today is House Ag Cmte markup of the Farm Bill. The Farm Bill is critical, typically bipartisan, legislation that has huge implications for the food system in America. The bill includes 12 titles, including commodities, conservation, nutrition, credit, rural dev. and much more.

Oklahoma is rejecting #SummerEBT again. He is refusing to bring $50M of your tax dollars back to Oklahoma to feed more than 400k children this summer. Sad day when we put political talking points and ideologies ahead of feeding kids.
