House Passes Agriculture Appropriations Bill with 2.8 Million for Georgia Projects

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. announced today that the House of Representatives passed the Fiscal Year 2010 Agriculture Appropriations bill, which includes $2.8 million in funding for six Southwest Georgia projects.

"This bill comprehensively ensures the continued strength of our agricultural sector by allocating funds to some critical research and development projects that specifically tackle the needs of Georgia agriculture," Bishop said. "Georgia agriculture is not only important to the local economy, but it is also taking on an increasingly important role in protecting America's environment, making us energy independent, and providing our country with a healthy and safe food supply."
