Wheat group defends crop insurance
Wheat industry leaders are emphasizing the importance of crop insurance for farmers in the wake of a summit sponsored by organizations that want to eliminate it.
The R Street Institute, Taxpayers for Common Sense, Heritage Foundation and other like-minded groups held a summit in Washington, D.C., last week and proposed changes to the farm bill that are “bad for farmers (and) the economy” and “misleading,” the National Association of Wheat Growers says.
