The Chairman of the Oklahoma Farm Bureau Farm Policy Task Force, Scott Neufeld of Fairview, Oklahoma, talked with Farm Director Ron Hays on Monday morning about the 2012 Farm Bill Draft Proposal advanced by House Ag Committee Chairman Frank Lucas and Ranking Minority member Collin Peterson.
Neufeld told the OklahomaFarmReport.Com that "our committee is extremely pleased with the draft that we have seen from Chairman Lucas and Ranking Member Peterson" adding that "it offers some much needed price protection or price support into the farm program and it offers a true safety net moreso than the revenue guarantee" that is at the heart of the ARC program advanced by the recently passed Senate Farm Bill.
