Dear Chairwoman Stabenow and Ranking Member Cochran:

Thank you for your continued leadership in moving the Farm Bill.  As a final bill is written, we urge you to advocate vigorously for the adoption of the Senate's energy titl, particulary the full $900 million in mandatory funding for its "core" programs.  Farm energy programs serve agriculture, rural communities and the entire nation by providing jobs, farm income and environmental benefits.
