To
All Interested Parties,
Note: The bill is located
The
2008 Farm Bill contained various changes to the Farm Storage Facility Loan
program. The addition of cold storage is at the Secretary's
discretion. Public meetings, for public comments, were held April
14, 2009 in Kansas City, KS and on April 15, 2009 in Cleveland, OH. There
weren't any fruit or vegetable growers at the meetings, so there was no input
on the need for cold storage.
Public
comments will be received through May 13, 2009. Comments pay be submitted
