Thune-Requested Agriculture Projects Move Forward

Senator John Thune today announced that several of his funding requests for South Dakota were included in the Fiscal Year 2010 Senate Agriculture Appropriations bill, which was approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee today.

"Agriculture is a vital component of our state's economy, and the continued strength of our farmers and ranchers is necessary for our state's continued economic health," said Thune. "The projects I have requested funding for will help South Dakota producers continue to meet our nation's food and renewable energy needs. I look forward to working with my Senate colleagues to ensure our agriculture priorities are addressed as the appropriations process moves forward."
