Nine senators last week sent letters to Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), chairman of the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, urging him to omit language from his version of the Farm Bill that would enforce the implementation of an assessment on imported dairy products. The chairman is expected to release his initial draft of the Farm Bill by month’s end, and the Senate will consider the bill when legislators return to Washington, D.C., after Labor Day.
The 2002 Farm Bill included a dairy import assessment to help fund the National Dairy Promotion & Research Program, but the assessment was never implemented, because in its current form it would violate a number of World Trade Organization rules. The House included language that may address some of the trade concerns in its version of the Farm Bill. The current version of the Farm Bill approved by the House at the end of July delays implementation of the assessment until one year after the enactment of the 2007 Farm Bill.
