Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signs a new farm bill into law, making the Farmers Feeding Florida program permanent. This initiative, started last year, gets fresh produce from farms straight to food banks statewide to fight hunger. The bill also protects agricultural land by turning surplus state property back into farmland, keeping it affordable for growers. Farmers like Buck Rollings, who runs Woodland Farms in Land O Lakes, call the bill a real source of hope. Lawmakers like Senator Ben Albritton stress fighting child hunger as the top priority. The measure adds perks too, like blocking local bans on gas-powered farm gear and a loan repayment plan for vets treating livestock. As farming stays tough and costly, this law aims to keep family operations going strong, ensuring more local food access for everyone in need.
