Worked with congressional delegation on the best strategy to pass a farm bill that incorporate key provisions in the Senate and House versions of the farm bill passed out of committee during the 112th Congress. Detailed information on next page.Hot Goods Language Language included requires the consultation between the Secretaries of Agriculture and Labor regarding the restraining of shipments or confiscation of agriculture commodities by the DoL for labor law violations as well as a report to Congress describing the number of instances that the DoL has contacted a purchaser of perishable agricultural commodities to notify them of an investigation or pending enforcement action against a producer from whom the purchaser bought such commodities. Deficit Reduction We put $23B toward deficit reduction. No other sector has offered up funding for deficit reduction. Commodity Title The safety net moved in a big way from risk management in the commodity title to risk management from crop insurance. Specialty Crop Research Initiative $745 million over 10 years Designates $125 million for citrus disease research through Fiscal Year 2018. SCRI is a competitive grant program that funds specialty crop research and extension projects conducted by federal agencies, national laboratories, colleges and universities, research institutions and organizations, private organizations or corporations, State agricultural experiment stations, and individuals. Specialty Crop Block Grant Program Provides $270 million in mandatory funding for the program and explicitly permits multi-state projects for the first time. This is a $38 million increase over the $232 million included in the 2008 Farm Bill. The Specialty Crop Block Grant Program provides grants annually to assist State Departments of Agriculture in enhancing the competitiveness of specialty crops (fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, and nursery crops). Organic Research and Extension Initiative Funded at $20 million annually for a total of $100 million over the five-year authorization, which will help fund land grant institutions and other government-funded research programs for improving organic farm practices and developing new seed varieties for organic farming. Organic Check-Off Gives organic producers and processors the opportunity to institute an industry-funded USDA research and promotion program. Organic Certification Cost Share Program Funded at $11.5 million annually for a total of $57.5 million over the five-year authorization. This is a $34.5 million increase over the $22 million included in the 2008 Farm Bill. This program helps new organic farmers defray the costs associated with becoming certified.Organic Data Initiative Funded at $5 million, which is the same level mandated in the previous Farm Bill. Provides for the collection and distribution of market data about organic agriculture in the United States, such as imports and exports, wholesale prices, and consumer trends. National Organic Program Authorizes funding up to $15 million annually to enforce organic standards. This is an $8 million annual increase from the $7 million annual authorization in the 2008 Farm Bill. Forest Roads A provision was included that helps preserve the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys 38-year policy of managing silviculture using state-derived Best Management Practices under the Clean Water Act The language permanently bars permits and citizen suits for forest roads and silviculture activities under the EPAs stormwater program. The language prevents citizen lawsuits which challenge compliance with any EPA measures that apply to forest roads or silviculture activities. Biobased Markets Program/Forest Products Important changes were made to USDAs biobased program which will increase market opportunities for forest products. H.R. 979 The Forest Product Fairness Act was included in the 2014 Farm Bill, along with language encouraging innovation in the growing, harvesting, transporting and manufacturing of forest products. Christmas Tree Check Off Program The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture is required, within 60 days of passage of the 2014 Farm Bill, to lift the administrative stay imposed by the rule establishing an industry-funded promotion, research and information program for fresh cut Christmas trees. PROVISIONS NOT INCLUDED, BUT NOT INCLUDED IN FINAL PASSAGE SPCC Amendment This amendment would have increased the threshold of above ground fuel storage capacity from 1,320 gallons to 10,000. The increase would have prevented farmers who fall within that range from having to comply with the SPCC rule which caused a secondary containment plan and implementation of that plan. King Amendment This amendment would have explicitly stated that no state law with regard to any type of production standard could prevent the free flow of goods and services from state to state. HR 872 This language would have prevented non-point source applicants from having to obtain a CWA permit.
