CCAGW Endorses FRESH Act

CAGW* | November 6, 2007

As the debate over the 2007 Farm Bill continues in the Senate, CCAGW has endorsed the “Farm, Ranch, Energy, Stewardship, and Health (FRESH) Act of 2007.” The bill, sponsored by Sens. Richard G. Lugar (R-Ind.) and Frank R. Lautenberg (D-N.J.), would replace Depression-era farm subsidies with programs that would provide a real safety net for farmers, instead of doling out excessive payments to the wealthiest farmers whether they need them or not. “The FRESH Act represents a fresh idea for real reform of farm subsidy programs,” CCAGW President Tom Schatz stated in endorsing the bill.
