Bill to boost farming via crop discovery and industry use
A new bill, HR 451 by Rep August B Andersen of Minnesota, would fund discovery and testing of agricultural crops for industrial use to replace surplus crops. It aims to create stable farm revenue, reduce dependence on government doles, and develop markets for crops like tung, soy, castor, and hemp through state university research. It faces tough passage in Congress.
