Give House and Senate leadership credit

Roger Johnson, President of the National Farmers Union (NFU) says it is time for agriculture to give House and Senate agriculture committee leader’s credit.

“They are the only ones that have taken the legal charge that happened with the Super Committee process legislation seriously,” Johnson said. “What that law contemplated was that all the committees with jurisdiction would come to these 12 members with proposals of where to save money, and so far it is only the agriculture committees that have taken that charge and trying to do something with it.”

Johnson says that’s not to say there aren’t frustrations, because there are, but the NFU President adds it’s a brand new path and it’s the process that’s being used.
