Dear Chairman Boozman, Ranking Member Klobuchar, and Members of the Committee:
We, the undersigned, appreciate the work that you have done on the Senate Agriculture Committee to promote and strengthen publicly funded agricultural research across our great nation, which is an important underpinning of the broader farm economy. However, as you are taking care of all farmers in this Farm Bill, we want to ensure that the research needs of organic farmers, who must produce under the standards of the USDA National Organic Program, are not overlooked.
