NCBA Urges Producers to Discuss Importance of Farm Bill with Congressional Representatives   

The House of Representatives will debate the Farm Bill on the House Floor on  October 3.  NCBA sent a letter to the House Leadership urging immediate action on the Farm Bill. 

NCBA believes this nation must have farm policy that provides a balanced approach to addressing the needs of producers and the protection of our nations natural resources. H.R. 2646, the Farm Security Act of 2001, does just that. 

 “Most members will return to their districts for the rest of this week which creates a great opportunity for producers to discuss agricultural issues facing Congress, especially the Farm Bill,” said Bryan Dierlam, NCBA’s director of agricultural policy. 

“Please urge your Member of Congress to oppose the Kind amendment to the Farm Bill,” Dierlam said.  “Additionally, please ask them to support the Farm Bill as passed by the House Agriculture Committee.” 

This important legislation balances the needs of an economically sensitive agriculture economy with the need to make investments in conserving, protecting and enhancing our natural resources.
