The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, and others, have lobbied successfully to have the Senate make the following improvements to the bill:
  • exemptions for all direct marketing
  • exemptions from regulations for some on-farm value-added processing
  • removal of requirements for farms and other food facilities to hire consultants to write food safety plans or to identify, implement, certify or audit those plans
  • grants for food safety trainings for small and mid-size farmers, beginning farmers, and socially disadvantaged farmers
  • removes enforcement against “animal encroachment” that caused many farmers to worry that they will have to remove wildlife habitat around their fields
