WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Competitive Markets Action, the Organization for Competitive Markets, and the Alabama Contract Poultry Growers Association applauded Governors from across the United States for urging Congress to prioritize the reauthorization of the Farm Bill. The co-chairs of the National Governors Association (NGA) Education, Workforce and Community Investment Task Force – Govs. Brad Little, R-ID, and Albert Bryan, D-USVI, have just sent a letter to Congressional leaders, urging them to consider key Farm Bill priorities for the next reauthorization of the bill.
The Governors emphasized the importance of avoiding preempting state level laws regarding agriculture production, writing that “states succeed when the federal government avoids granting a private right of action against states that maintain their own production or manufacturing standard on agricultural products.”
