WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Organization for Competitive Markets and Competitive Markets Action released the following statement in response to U.S. House Committee on Agriculture Glenn “G.T.” Thompson’s Farm Bill made public earlier in the day:
OCM and leaders at CMA have worked for most of the past decade to see the enactment of the Opportunities for Fairness in Farming (OFF) Act, H.R. 1249/S. 557, led by Reps. Nancy Mace, R-SC, and Rep. Dina Titus, D-NV, and Sens. Mike Lee, R-UT, Rand Paul, R-KY, Cory Booker, D-NJ, and Elizabeth Warren, D-MA. The measure would reform the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture’s scandal-ridden checkoff programs that have been plagued by unethical and illegal activities for decades.
