Suggested introduction cut one:
National Cotton Council delegates and staff had a unified message during the recent Democratic National Convention says Dr. Mark Lange, Council president and CEO. The message was simple –the current farm bill must be maintained because it is an effective safety net for U.S. agriculture.
Suggested introduction cut two:
The National Cotton Council, along with other allied agricultural organizations, is working to emphasize agriculture’s importance in the national economy to Congress.
Suggested introduction cut three:
Farm bill preservation, trade initiatives and participation in the next round of the WTO agricultural negotiations are all issues U.S. ag will face the next 12-24 months, making election outcomes even more crucial, says Lange.
Tagline:
The National Cotton Council is continuing to urge members to vote to ensure ag’s voice is heard during the 2004 election. Please visit the Council’s web site – www.cotton.org - for voter registration information and to cast an absentee vote
