The WSSA sent a letter to Congressional leadership in support of the $7.75 billion for agricultural research in the Budget Reconciliation proposal. One letter highlighted the $500 million in additional funding proposed for the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI). A second letter, which was coordinated by the National Coalition for Food and Agriculture Research (NCFAR), also requested support for the $7.75 billion designated for agricultural research. That letter was endorsed by over 120 stakeholder groups including the six national and regional weed science societies.
