AFR President Urges Coburn to Compromise on MAP Program
Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:02:32 CDT
American Farmers and Ranchers President Terry Detrick has written a letter to Senator Tom Coburn urging him to rethink his position on the Market Access Program.
Coburn recently came out against continued funding for the program.
Detrick reminded Coburn that "the first dollars come from private sector producers to promote and market their products. Through a series of matching funds, these dollars are multiplied. Because of those investments, markets are opened, both domestic and export sales increase, and many dollars find their way back to communities across America creating jobs and increasing economic activity."
The letter goes on to acknowledge that compromise may be necessary, but asks Coburn to consider preserving as much of the MAP program as possible.
