DENVER, Colo. More than
200 fanners and ranchers repre

the 1993 National Fanners Union
(NFU) legislative fly-in Sept.
12-15.
International trade, increasing
farm incomes, and health care are
the key issues this year’s fly-in
participants will discuss with
members of Congress.
Participants will begin with a
briefing on legislative issues on
Sept. 12 and then spend Sept.
13-14 calling on U.S. senators and
representatives on Capitol Hill.
President Clinton, Hillary Rod

Agriculture (USDA) Secretary
Mike Epsy, and USDA Underse
cretaries Gene Moos and Bob
Nash have been invited to address
the group.
“The fly-in is an effective tool
for providing our senators, repre

ficials with grassroots input from
U.S. farmers and ranchers,” said
NFU President Lcland Swenson.

tore sector has been represented
primarily by agribusiness in the
debate over the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAF
TA),” said Swenson. “Under its
current provisions, NAFTA will
be negative for most of production
agriculture and I think our elected
officials need to hear that side of
the story from those affected.”
Swenson said the group will
highlight ailing family farm in
comes, which averaged less than
$6,000 in 1990, as well as health
care reform during their Hill vis
its. “Fire sale commodity prices
and climbing health care costs
have left farm incomes in a dire
situation,” he said.
NFU has been a long-time sup
porter of health care reform, fa
voring a single-payer system. The
Clinton administration and its
health care reform task force has
relied on NFU for input on reform
in rural and underserved areas.
The president’s plan for health
care reform is expected to be un
veiled in late September.
As multiple component pricing
becomes an issue in more and
more federal orders, these draw
backs should be considered and, if
possible, improvements made.
This will result in a more equitable
treatment of both producers and
handlers across the country.
