Guest View: Hey, Mccain: Farm Bill Is Vital
The Farm Bill, officially known as the Food, Conservation and Energy Act, is not perfect. That does not, however, diminish how vital it is in our efforts to feed the world, supply energy for our nation, conserve our resources, assure a cleaner environment, improve our water quality, and advance the quality of life for millions of Americans.
There are realities for rural Americans that should not be forgotten as we peer into the future, strengthening our state and our nation. With the ongoing anxiety of a deepening recession, exorbitant gas prices and local families who lost their homes in the Trigo Fire, the larger question is, are we a nation that cares for our rural people, or is this merely lip service paid during political campaigns?
