On the recordJanuary 8, 2003
farmers of the 12th District of Georgia, as well as those across the Nation, are hurting. Disastrous yields and poor crop quality are the result of the weather of 2002. To respond to these needs, to work for Georgia farmers and with the Georgia Farm Bureau and its president, Wayne Dollar, today I will introduce the Emergency Agricultural Disaster Assistance Act. I urge my colleagues to take steps toward aiding some of America's finest in these difficult times by cosponsoring and supporting this bill.
