​After Thursday’s (19/9/13) action in the House of Representatives the Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance released the following statement: The Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance (SCFBA) strongly urges the House of Representatives to move forward with the Farm Bill and appoint conferees for going to Conference Committee with the Senate. 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.
