CONSERVATION GROUP HOLD LEGISLATIVE FLY-IN TO WASHINGTON
Mar. 19, 2013
BrownfieldAgNews reports:
The National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) is holding their Spring Legislative Fly-in to Washington, D.C. this week.
NACD President Earl Garber of Louisiana says the event allows NACD members to discuss issues and concerns with Congressmen and Senators. Garber says high on the priority list of issues, the conservation leaders will continue to press Congress to complete a Farm Bill that maintains funding for conservation programs.
"We would really like to make that a priority," said Garber. "We think our producers, our landowners, our small landowners in America need some certainty here as to how our food security is going to go and what they can depend on to get conservation on the ground in the future."
NACD members from some 30 states are participating in the organization's Spring Legislative Fly-in.
