By a vote of 99 to 1, the Senate overwhelmingly recognized the recent “Rally for Rural Amer ica” and the need for Congress to immediately alleviate the deepening economic crisis in rural America. The Sense of the Senate amendment, authored by Sen. Paul Wellstone, D-Minn., was passed recently as part of a crop insurance reform bill. The National Farmers Union (NFU) led nearly 40 groups in organizing the rally, which brought more than 3,000 farm ers, ranchers and rural citizens to Washington, D.C., March 20- 21 to call on Congress to act on the rural crisis. “More than 3,000 rural Amer icans traveled by bus, plane and train to Washington this week to send Congress a message,” said NFU President Leland Swen son. “We hope the overwhelm ing support for this measure indicates that Congress is ready to take meaningful action to return prosperity to rural Amer ica.” USD A Biotechnology Advisory Panel Meets PARK RIDGE, 111. The first meeting of a national advi sory committee on biotechnol ogy met recently and will be providing the USD A with advice on the thorny topic of biotech. Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman opened the meeting of 43 scientists, farmers and con sumer advocates which will play a significant role in the develop ment of agriculture policy over the next decade. “Agriculture biotechnology will have a tremendous impact not only on our food choices, but in the way we produce our food, on our natural resources, on trade policy, and on other disci plines like medicine. So I wanted to tap a broad range of expertise. And I wanted a group of people who would look (Continued from Page B 17) 2- 60-75 5-12 75-90 3- 75-85 4- 70-90 2.5-6 60-85 3-8 55-75 15-5 60-85 According to futures prices, #2 heating oil (a good proxy for diesel fuel prices) is expected to fall 7 percent by June and 9 per cent by August, before increas ing with seasonal demand. Gasoline is expected to fall 10 percent by June, 17 percent by August, and 23 percent by October. The Sense of the Senate amendment acknowledged the many economic challenges facing rural communities, in cluding record low commodity prices, anticompetitive markets, a loss of jobs and businesses on rural main street, and decline in health care and education. “Congress should respond with a clear and strong message to the participants and rural families that Congress is com mitted to giving the crisis in ag riculture, and all of rural America, its full attention by re forming rural policies,” read the measure. The amendment called on Congress to respond in a manner that will: • Alleviate the agricultural price crisis. • Ensure competitive mar kets. • Invest in rural education and health care. • Protect natural resources for future generations. • Ensure a safe and secure food supply. beyond the science and explore the effects of this new discipline wherever it might be felt,” Glickman told the committee. “I am a strong believer in the potential for agricultural biotechnology. But over time I’ve also gained a greater appre ciation for the need to address a lot of the concerns surrounding biotechnology. And, ironically, USD A has been in a leadership role in raising some of the ques tions,” he said. “We as a society must sort through some very complex issues to make informed deci sions about policy, programs, and initiatives that are in the best interests of all involved con sumers, farmers, processors, ev eryone in the food chain.” Farm Bureau has several members on the committee.
