See additional details on the next page. NAEDA supports a new farm bill (2012) which: provides for planting flexibility, provides a safety net for producers and considers extreme weather conditions and trade related issues, balances the needs of conservation and the needs of land used for production, considers trade issues, supports education and research efforts, provides for rural development activities to include agricultural credit, beginning farmer programs and value-added programs for a renewable bio-economy, and provides for educational programs to assist dealers to hire and retain quality employees in the agriculture and outdoor power equipment industries. We are monitoring Congressional actions to the passage of H.R. 2112 by the House on June 16th. We are concerned as to how to protect the jurisdiction of the Agriculture Committees roll in the Farm Bill. H.R. 2112 makes appropriations to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration and related agencies. Our issue is the policy debate over farm safety net programsthey belong as a part of the legislative process for writing the 2012 farm bill. The belief is that the farm bill is constructed with considerable care and deliberation to serve as the overarching farm safety net policy for five years. Allowing the current farm bill to be decided during hasty yearly appropriations bills strips authority from the Agriculture Committees and moves the legislative process further from the thoughtful debate that crafts better policy. During consideration of H.R. 2112, the House Appropriations Committee adopted amendments that would effectively amend the 2008 farm bill with detrimental results for farm safety net programs. H.R. 2112 also contains large reductions in many of the programs authorized and funded through the 2008 farm bill. Decisions on how much mandatory spending should be allocated to programs that benefit farmers, rural communities, researchers and others should be made by the authorizing committee, such as the Agriculture Committees on both the House and Senate. | Agriculture, Dept of (USDA),Energy, Dept of,Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),Federal Communications Commission (FCC),Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration,HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Internal Revenue Service (IRS),Justice, Dept of (DOJ),Natl Labor Relations Board (NLRB),Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC),SENATE,State, Dept of (DOS),Transportation, Dept of (DOT),White House Office | 19226 | 0 | 0 | 2011-07-05T16:18:19.787000-04:00 |
