HERSETH SANDLIN STATEMENT ON FARM BILL DELAY

Washington, D.C., November 16, 2007 – U.S. Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin released the following statement regarding the delay of the Farm Bill:

“I’m disappointed that political games in the Senate have further delayed passage of what is, by all accounts, a very strong Farm Bill that is good for producers in South Dakota. The Farm Bill that passed the House, as well as the version that passed unanimously from the Senate Agriculture Committee, were almost universally endorsed by farm and ranch groups across South Dakota and across the country. It’s a shame that this great progress on behalf of our producers is being blocked by some in the Senate who want to inject politics into the bill in the form of amendments that have nothing to do with agriculture. I am still hopeful, however, that common sense and good policy will prevail, and a compromise can be reached by year’s end.
