Breaking Senate Farm Bill News ...
As the print version of this newsletter went to press, Senators Kent Conrad and Saxby Chambliss forced a phony payment limitation provision into the Senate Agriculture Committee farm bill proposal. Its purpose is to make it harder to pass true reform when the farm bill comes before the full Senate.
We issued the following statement:
“Conrad made a deal with the devil that won a little more money for commodities at the price of destroying family farming. Like the widely denounced House Bill, the Conrad ruse continues multi-million dollar payments to the nation’s largest farms and undermines the one true reform on the table – the Dorgan-Grassley amendment.”
Please watch for our action alerts. It will be critical to flood the Senate with letters, calls, and emails.
