Thu, 12 Jul 2012 10:37:59 CDT
National Sorghum Producers praises action taken yesterday by the House Agriculture Committee to mark up and pass the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act (2012 Farm Bill) by a vote of 35-11.
"NSP is very pleased with the hard work and leadership provided by Chairman Lucas and Ranking Member Peterson to pass a very good farm bill out of committee," said J.B. Stewart, NSP Legislative Committee chairman.
"We hope Congress will build on this momentum and move this critical policy forward to enactment as soon as possible."
While close to 100 amendments were considered by the committee, the commodity title was left relatively intact, including reference prices and producer choice-both priorities of the National Sorghum Producers. The bill achieves substantial budget savings but maintains balanced and solid protection for America's farmers and ranchers.
