Seeking Help From Capitol Hill
Carroll Smith
Senior Writer
Throughout the Mid-South, parts of Alabama, Georgia and even upwards of the Eastern seaboard, farmers watched helplessly as excessive rainfall and cloudy days in September and October delayed harvest and reduced crop yields and quality.
Farmers, consultants, industry leaders and agricultural organizations knew that the clock was ticking. It was time to join forces on Capitol Hill to seek assistance from Congress in the face of the 2009 crop disaster, and, in some cases, back-to-back disasters. Many individuals and groups traveled to D.C. to explain the dire situation and try to work out a solution that could be executed in a timely manner.
