Contact: Katherine McKalip – Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership Press Release – June 21, 2012

The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership and other leaders in the sportsman-conservation community commended the U.S. Senate for its vote giving final passage to the Farm Bill, the wide-ranging legislation that represents the largest federal investment in agricultural and private lands conservation in the nation. “Thanks to Senators Debbie Stabenow and Pat Roberts, who forged bipartisan agreement under trying budgetary circumstances, and to Majority Leader Senator Reid and Minority Leader McConnell advancing today’s vote, we are one step closer toward finalizing a new Farm Bill,” said Steve Kline, director of the TRCP Center for Agricultural and Private Lands. “The Senate Farm Bill invokes sportsmen’s values, helps sustain fish and wildlife habitat and makes the conservation title more user friendly and more efficient.” For full story, click here.
