From the president of the American Farm Bureau Association:
“The administration’s budget fails to recognize agriculture’s current financial challenges or its historical contribution to deficit reduction,” he said. “It would gut federal crop insurance, drastically reshape voluntary conservation programs and negatively impact consumer confidence in critical meat and poultry inspection….
“Clearly, this budget fails agriculture and rural America.”
Things that I've heard/read indicate that this new budget that they're trying to pass would cut federal crop insurance by 36%.
The threatened cut/loss to the conservation programs should be very concerning to outdoorsman, like ourselves. Just some food for thought!
