AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSN REACTS TO GOVERNMENT FUNDING AND FARM BILL EXTENSION
Source: American Seed Trade Association news release

Alexandria, VA -- Andy LaVigne, President and CEO of the American Seed Trade Association, issued the following statement after Congress sent a continuing resolution and farm bill extension to President Biden's desk.

"On behalf of America's seed producers, the American Seed Trade Association is pleased to see that our industry and America's farmers will have certainty into the new year," said LaVigne. "But the work is far from over. The legislation that was passed is simply a band-aid.

"American families and the seed producers and farmers that help put food on their tables need their representatives in Washington, D.C. to come together and pass a comprehensive five-year farm bill that supports critical agricultural and nutrition programs. These programs allow seed producers and farmers to expand their market access across the globe, conduct research that is fundamental to providing high-quality, professional seed to producers, support key commodity programs, and lend a hand to families in need."

"ASTA is looking forward to fostering relationships, new and old, in the 119th Congress and with the incoming administration, to get a new farm bill through congressional approval and to the President's desk."
