Senate Ag Committee Focuses on Rural Economy
Published Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at 04:57 AM
Senator Lincoln pointed to the problems wet weather has presented the state’s agricultural producers. As a result, there are concerns for producer income and related agriculture industry jobs. She said that is why she has co-signed a bill to provide additional direct payments to producers in Counties where there’s a USDA declared disaster. To date, over half of the counties in Arkansas have received a disaster declaration.
