NACD REACTS TO FARM BILL IN
LETTER TO HOUSE AG COMMITTEE
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) sent a letter to House Agriculture Committee leadership outlining the organization’s reaction to the Agriculture and Nutrition Act of 2018 (H.R. 2) introduced on Thursday.
“We appreciate the committee’s due diligence in preparing this legislation,” NACD President Brent Van Dyke said. “Farmers and ranchers utilize farm bill conservation programs every day to improve soil, water and wildlife habitat. These programs give producers the necessary tools and resources they need to implement voluntary, locally-led conservation practices. We hope both sides of the aisle can come together to get a farm bill across the finish line.”
