  Testimony Before The Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Moreover, agriculture already is the source of clean-burning fuel and industrial ethanol, a variety of specialty chemicals derived from plants, soy-based inks and diesel fuel, industrial adhesives, biopolymers, and films.
The Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform (FAIR) Act of 1996 proved to be historic by removing most of the decades-old program structure, provided unparalleled farmer decision-making flexibility through “decoupled” benefits, and set a new example throughout the world for providing domestic farm sector support.
The agricultural infrastructure includes research, information, inspection, monitoring, testing, promotion—all of the basic services, facilities, equipment, and institutions needed for the economic growth and efficient functioning of the food and fiber markets.

In a recent letter to Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), Sen. Kent Conrad (D-S.D.) encouraged timely action on the 2001 crop year emergency farm relief as well as reauthorization of the farm bill.
Conrad said he was afraid the $79 billion in additional resources for agriculture adopted in the budget resolution for fiscal year 2002 might "evaporate" if the committee did not act.
I am therefore writing to urge that you announce a schedule for the committee to proceed with the prompt approval of emergency agricultural legislation for crop year 2001, followed by consideration of a comprehensive new farm bill.

 Statement of Mr. Nolan Jungclaus Before the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee July 16, 2002
Through the introduction of a livestock enterprise and the diversification of cropping systems, we have been able to improve farm efficiency and profit despite the currently depressed farm economy.
I have changed as just a commodity producer, who would otherwise be another statistic in the declining rural economy, to a board member of the Prairie Farmers Cooperative, to an innovative 5.8 million dollar hog processing plant in rural Dawson, Minnesota.
It teaches our young that individual enterprise and opportunity doesn't apply to those involved in agriculture and instead they better tow the line and become a cog in the system.
