FEINGOLD LEADS EFFORT TO SEE FARMERS RECEIVE A FAIR SHAKE

U.S. Senator Russ Feingold is leading a Senate effort to ensure farmers and rural businesses have access to the same assistance provided to small businesses by the administrations jobs creation proposals. In a letter to President Barack Obama this week, Feingold and 12 other senators called on the administration to ensure farmers and rural businesses are a part of outreach and implementation of any jobs proposals since they are often also small businesses. Farmers and rural small businesses in rural locations often miss out on, or have difficulty accessing, assistance from the Small Business Administration (SBA), which often has offices located in urban areas. Making sure that agencies within the USDA such as the Farm Service Agency and Rural Development work with the SBA and other agencies is critical for making sure the proposals create and sustain jobs in rural America. As farmers and rural businesses struggle to obtain loans or credit to stay on their feet, the administration should make every effort to ensure family farmers and rural businesses are not left out of its efforts to create and sustain jobs, Feingold said. Farmers and other rural businesses deserve the same access to assistance that businesses in big cities do. The letter was supported by the Wisconsin Farm Bureau and a variety of other agricultural groups.
