The outlook for fuel prices
over the next few months is pos
itive. Several oil producing
nations have made promises to
increase oil production which
will eventually exert downward
pressure on crude oil prices.
99 U.S. Senators Support
Rally For Rural America
WASHINGTON, D.C. 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

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.
