The Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance (SCFBA) welcomes the House passage of the revised 2013 Farm Bill today as the next step to enacting a five-year plan for federal agriculture policy. We are pleased that both the House and Senate bills address many of the critical priorities outlined by the SCFBA and continue the support of specialty crops that was established in the 2008 Farm Bill. We look forward to working with negotiators to advance legislation through conference committee and to the president’s desk for his signature.
