Fifteen Oklahoma agriculture organizations have signed a litter of support for the House version of the 2013 farm bill. The groups sent the letter to House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas last week.
The letter specifically supports the safety net provisions and the voluntary conservation programs written into the bill, H.R. 1947.
The letter's signers also said the believe passage of the current fam bill would give them some measure of certainty so that they could make long-range business decisions.
The bill is expected to be voted on this week, and may come up for consideration as early as Wednesday.
