The NAWG Board of Directors met by conference call Friday to discuss pending climate change legislation. As part of that discussion, the Board voted 26 to two to approve a new resolution regarding greenhouse gas regulation.
The new resolution reads:
“NAWG is opposed to greenhouse gas legislation or regulation that has a negative impact on production agriculture. NAWG will strive for a net economic benefit to farmers, agriculture and food production. We believe neither greenhouse gas regulation nor legislation should take effect until the major carbon emitting countries of the world have agreed to regulate their own greenhouse gases in a like manner to ours. NAWG urges USDA to do a detailed economic analysis of any legislation or regulation before it becomes law. Furthermore, NAWG will oppose EPA regulation and will work to overturn the Supreme Court ruling.”
This resolution is similar to the resolution passed by TWPA last month. As Texas Wheat and NAWG move forward with the issue we will strive to work together in the best interest of wheat producers.
