WASHINGTON – Today Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) spoke on the House Floor to emphasize the need to move up the November 1st prevent plant date through an administrative fix, if not through legislation. Last week, Johnson introduced the bipartisan Feed Emergency Enhancement During Disasters (FEEDD) Act, which would create an emergency waiver authority for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to allow producers to graze, hay or chop a cover crop before November 1st in the event of a feed shortage due to excessive moisture, flood or drought.
