CHARLES W. BOUSTANY, JR. of louisiana in the house of representatives Friday, December 8, 2006 Mr. BOUSTANY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the bill, S. 4093. This bill will modify the expiration date of a provision of a farm bill dealing with farm credit so that it expires concurrent with the rest of the farm bill. Currently a provision of the farm bill dealing with guaranteed loans for farmers and ranchers expires on December 31 of this calendar year. The rest of the farm bill, however, does not begin to expire until December 30 of 2007. By passing this bill, we are ensuring that this credit program has the opportunity to be fully debated during the development of the next farm bill. Furthermore, should this provision expire in the next few days, it would create a hardship on the part of those farmers, ranchers, and lenders to whom it would apply. I ask my colleagues to support this bill so that this credit program, which is so important for America's young and beginning farmers, has the opportunity to be debated and reevaluated during the development of the next farm bill without causing undue hardship with limited notice to the farmers and ranchers that use this important program. I would also like to thank Michael Hare of my staff for his diligent work in the last week to bring this bill to the floor. ____________________ |
