House, Senate Pass Farm Bill Conference Report
Pheasants Forever plays important role in this welcome news for conservation
May 15, 2008:
UPDATE: On Wednesday, May 14th, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the conference report on the 2008 Farm Bill, H.R. 2419, the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 by a vote of 318-106. On Thursday, May 15th, the U.S. Senate approved the conference report for the 2008 Farm Bill, HR. 2419, by a vote of 81-15. Perhaps as early as next week, the bill will be sent to the desk of President George W. Bush for consideration and approval or veto.
After nearly four months of extensions, House and Senate Farm Bill conferees have reached an agreement on the main elements of the 2008 Farm Bill. Pheasants Forever (PF) and Quail Forever (QF) urge both the House and the Senate to pass the legislation, and for President George W. Bush to sign the bill into law as quickly as possible. If passed, the bill would provide an additional $7.9 billion in new funding for conservation programs; welcome news for wildlife conservation and hunters.
"The Farm Bill is the single biggest opportunity for conservation. Any further delay to a new bill would have jeopardized three decades worth of progress toward cleaning our water, protecting our soils and creating habitat for wildlife," said Dave Nomsen, PF/QF's Vice President of Government Affairs who has played a critical role in shaping the Farm Bill's conservation title.
