Combest to retire from Congress after 18 years on High Plains
Representative Larry Combest announces retirement effective May 31, 2003, shocking High Plains agriculture. Plains Cotton Growers praise his 18 years leading policy reforms including the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 and the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000. PCG notes the loss of his experience for future policy shaping and cites updated USDA rules allowing separate yield plugs for dryland and irrigated practices, requiring detailed production records and county office adjustments.
