STANDING UP FOR WISCONSIN FARMERS
In the 107th session of Congress, I led the effort to defeat the Northeast Dairy Compact, a pact that in effect penalized dairy farmers in other regions, including Wisconsin. Instead, I helped to create a new national dairy program in the 2002 Farm Bill, one that for the first time ever includes a safety net for all dairy producers. I also helped to secure emergency payments during periods of low prices to help producers stay in business and extend the dairy price support program. I remain committed to build on last yearÕs progress to help farmers in Wisconsin. |
