ISSUE 1126 HOUSE
AG COMMITTEE HOLDS FINAL FARM BILL HEARING House
Ag Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte convened the Committee’s final field
hearing to review federal farm policy in Scottsburg, Indiana on Monday (July 24).
The
Committee held a total of 11 field hearings in various regions of the country
to gather feedback from America’s farmers and ranchers in preparation for
reauthorizing the 2002 farm bill later next year. Since
the Committee’s first field hearing in early February, roughly 120 agricultural
producers testified before the Committee throughout the field hearing series.
Committee Members will take the information gathered from the hearing into consideration
as they begin the farm bill debate in early 2007.
