NFU Participates in Technology Hearing

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:54:06 CST

National Farmers Union President Roger Johnson told the House Ag Subcommittee that American farmers are being asked to produce more food, fiber and fuel with greater precision and efficiency, and they are answering the call by investing in new technological systems. He says it's only logical that USDA would do the same.


The USDA Farm Service Agency computer system remains unstable which has resulted in service disruption to producers. The Appropriations Committee has been in search of a means to pay for the necessary upgrades for several years, yet is still unable to guarantee the funding will be available at the end of the appropriations process.


Johnson says - we are confident that with proper management strategies, adequate resources and proper planning, USDA can meet the challenge of harnessing information technology in a way that will benefit our nation’s farmers and ranchers.
