The National Farmers Union (NFU) today urged support of the Waxman-Markey ACES Bill, which is set for a vote tomorrow. The organization had previously opposed the bill, but after talks between Collin Peterson, chair of the Agriculture Committee, and Waxman and Markey, agreements reached in the bill have satisfied the needs of the organization. Read more about the key components of the agreement reached in NFU's press release. These agreements pave the way for many representatives from rural and agriculture states to support the bill, securing more votes for this key legislation.
