The Sorghum Producers gave a "thumbs up" to Chairman Frank Lucas and Ranking Member Collin Peterson for their 2012 Farm Bill Draft as released on Thursday afternoon. NSP offered the following statement on Thursday after the release from the Committee:
National Sorghum Producers applauds the direction taken by the House Agriculture Committee in developing a comprehensive and solid farm bill that has a stable foundation and can serve as the new cornerstone for future farm policy.
The text released today indicates producers will have the opportunity to choose the policy option that best fits their farm and provides minimum price protection two components NSP has strongly advocated for from the beginning of this process.
"The National Sorghum Producers commends the House Agriculture Committee's bipartisan commitment to strong U.S. farm policy and to our nation's farmers and ranchers," said J.B. Stewart, NSP Legislative Committee chairman. "We are very pleased to be at this point in the 2012 Farm Bill process and we look forward to helping House committee members bring this bill across the finish line."
