NCBA Gives House-Passed Farm Bill Mixed Reviews
Published Monday, July 30, 2007 at 04:55 AM
While NCBA’s Executive Director of Legislative Affairs Collin Woodall says the bill isn’t perfect - he notes it does address many of the issues NCBA members identified as priorities. Still - he says payment limitations don’t make sense for conservation. Woodall says the goals of voluntary conservation programs are compromised when artificial caps and limits are applied.
NCBA also worked to oppose any amendments that would alter the competitive structure of the cattle industry. Woodall says NCBA policy supports a competitive, free-enterprise market - and the House chose not to include any amendments that would limit the ability of cattlemen to market their cattle. He says producers need the freedom and flexibility to market their cattle in ways that provide the best return on their investment.
