CARTER WINS IMPORTANT FUNDS FOR STEPHENVILLE DAIRY

07/20/07

Washington, Jul 20, 2007 -  

U.S. Representative John Carter (TX-31), a member of the Appropriations Committee, announced that $1,275,000 for a dairy gasifier in Stephenville has been included in the 2008 Agriculture Appropriations bill. The fixed-bed gasifier to be located on Jam-Dot Dairy in Stephenville, Texas will be used to convert manure to energy and a mineral ash commodity.

“This is the first step to secure funds for the completion of the gasifier. The gasifier, and the additional equipment and supplies that will be provided by this funding, will have a profound impact on the Bosque River and will also help make the farm energy self-sufficient. The environmental impact of this new machine is unsurpassed and I am please that I was able to assist the dairy with such an important and economic project,” Congressman Carter said.

Passage of the bill in full committee is the first step to ensure that these important funds are provided to the dairy in Stephenville. The full House is expected to take up the 2008 Agriculture Appropriations bill next week, where, if passed, the bill will continue to the Senate for further consideration. If passed in the Senate the bill will proceed to a Conference Committee where both Houses of Congress will create a compromise bill to be presented to the President for signing.
