The American Farm Bureau Federation’s board on Wednesday approved a strategic action plan to address public policy issues for 2015 after a quiet delegate voting session on Tuesday.
"The board-approved plan focuses the organization’s attention on: advancing legislation that addresses agriculture’s long- and short-term labor needs; protecting farmers’ abilities to use biotech plant varieties and other innovative technologies; opposing expansion of federal jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act; and advancing legislation that reforms the Endangered Species Act,” Farm Bureau said in a news release today.
There were no dramatic regional conflicts in the delegate session Tuesday, DTN/The Progressive Farmer reported.
