Citrus farm aid bill could be sunk by veto threat
A $40 million federal disaster aid bill for citrus growers hit by January freezes faces collapse as it is attached to a $122 billion Iraq funding package the president is expected to veto. Senate Appropriations approved the aid, but Bush tied opposition to the Iraq measure. Farmers in the Central Valley, including Tulare County farmer David Roberts, fear delays cost jobs. California Citrus Mutual and lawmakers stress the aid remains vital for workers and growers.
