Debbie Stabenow actually said...

I am proud to say these important crops are a part of the Farm Bill discussions and their place in the Farm Bill is here to stay.

The role you play in reaching our goals, both for jobs, success in rural America, as well as the health of the country, is very important.

I think Senator Stabenow has seen how valuable they are to this country as a whole, and some the goals that our nation has.

Sales of U.S. specialty crops top $65 billion annually with nearly 2 billion of those sales coming from Michigan alone.
