This is what I just sent.
I am writing to ask you to vote against H.R. 2749.
I believe it will become a huge burden to farmers. I don’t believe that it is very well written and so many things will be left to some bureacrat’s opinion.
Farmers in your district are holding on by the skin of their teeth and one more road block in the way might mean the extinction of agriculture in your district.
The fact that there are no longer government reserves means that the United States is no longer food secure. A lot of people don’t seem to think that food security is important but I dare them to say that when they are starving. It won’t matter how good our military defenses are if the country can’t feed itself and is at the mercy of the world.
The whole process of the bill is flawed and incomplete and would encumber farmers with so many regulations that the majority of us will be forced to go out of business. All this for a specious bill written by people who have never set foot on a farm and wouldn’t know corn from wheat.
