Washington, D.C. - Today, the House of Representatives passed the conference report for the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration Appropriations Act which provides funding for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and related agencies for the upcoming fiscal year. This legislation includes $2.963 million requested by Rep. Herseth Sandlin for important agriculture-related projects in South Dakota, listed below. This legislation also provides $2.25 million in funding for the Sun Grant Initiative, administered by SDSU, which was authorized as a federal program through the Farm Bill passed last year. The Sun Grant Initiative conducts important research that holds tremendous potential to improve the domestic supply of renewable energy.
The bill was passed by the House in July and the Senate in August, and differences in the two versions were worked out in a conference committee. Following House passage, it is anticipated that the Senate will agree to the conference report and send it to the President for his signature.
“South Dakota State University is leading the way in conducting vital research that benefits farmers and ranchers across the country and supports our country’s efforts to diversify its energy economy,” Rep. Herseth Sandlin said. “I’m proud to once again support these projects and look forward to continuing my work with SDSU to advance these priorities that hold so much potential for our state’s rural community and the country as a whole.“Read Full Article
