Arkansas R.F.D.: Congressman Berry on the Farm Bill

A blog devoted to sometimes overlooked news all over Arkansas

Congressman Berry on the Farm Bill

The Jonesboro Sun has an article today outlining Congressman Berry's recent comments on the 2007 farm bill:

As far as predicting what the next farm bill will look like, Berry said it will be much like the 2002 farm bill, which has been widely accepted by American agriculture. Changes are expected to be conservation programs, and the biggest will be in the money committed to and programs that are directed to alternative fuels generation and production.

The congressman said he has felt the most optimism among America's farmers that he has felt in many years. That optimism, he said, is being driven by higher prices that can be traced directly to alternative fuels production that are providing America "some hope of energy independence"
