Letter from Agriculture Leaders in North Dakota

Dear Senator Conrad:

We write to thank you for your strong leadership on the agricultural and budgetary issues facing our nation.  We greatly appreciate your efforts in developing the 2002 and 2008 Farm Bills as well as your service as Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee.  Indeed, your position as Chairman has assured that agricultural issues receive fair and equitable treatment before the Budget Committee.

We understand that you have the opportunity to become the Chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee in the next Congress but that doing so would require stepping down as Chair of the Senate Budget Committee.  We appreciate your support of agriculture and know that you would be an excellent Chairman of the Agriculture Committee.  However, we believe that your continued chairmanship of the Budget Committee would be a better use of your experience and seniority on behalf of North Dakota agriculture, as well as to our country during these challenging times for our nation's budget.  We also believe that through your leadership both the 2002 and 2008 Farm Bills addressed North Dakota's agricultural needs extremely well.  Therefore, we encourage you to retain your chairmanship of the Senate Budget Committee in the 112th Congress.

Once again, thank you for the continued support and leadership that you provide to North Dakota and the nation on agricultural and budgetary issues.

Sincerely,

David Berg, President & CEO
