The Iowa Soybean Association Applauds the Completion of the 2002 Farm Bill by U.S. Senate and House Conferees today. ISA President John Hoffman said, "Soybeans are treated more equitably in relation to other program crops in this legislation, and Iowa soybean farmers are provided better income protection. ISA is pleased with the inclusion of expanded conservation programs, an energy title, which increases opportunities for soy biodiesel, and increased funding for important trade title programs in the Bill." "On behalf of ISA, let me thank Chairmen Tom Harkin and Larry Combest and their colleagues on completing this demanding process in time for programs to be effective for 2002 crops," Hoffman added.
