NEWS FROM OREGON DEMOCRATIC ELECTED OFFICALS
A Healthy Farm Bill
February 14, 2012
One of Congressman Blumenauer’s top priorities is changing national policies that not only shortchange Oregon farmers and ranchers but our health as well.
On Friday, February 10, he spoke about the importance of the Farm Bill to the 4th Annual NW Environmental Health Conference, an assembly of representatives from public agencies, environmental interests, and the health community. Calling attention to his report, “Growing Opportunities: Family Farm Values for Reforming the Farm Bill,” Congressman Blumenauer told attendees, “Everyone who cares about the quality of the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat has an interest in reforming federal farm policy.”
