On the recordJuly 24, 2002
I completely understand and support what they are fighting for and join them in that fight. We also have had in northern and western Michigan disasters that happened as late as this spring where we have seen our cherry crop wiped out because of extremely hot weather, in the nineties, and then immediately going into freezing temperatures. We have seen our orchards literally wiped out in terms of the ability to produce cherries and other crops. When this happens to our farmers, it is critical we step forward in a bipartisan way and do everything we can to support them to get through this year, to get through these disasters.
