NAWG supports passage of amended climate change bill

A statement from Karl Scronce, NAWG president and a wheat producer from Klamath Falls, Ore., June 25:

"NAWG policy supports climate change legislation allowing agricultural greenhouse gas offsets to be utilized as an unlimited source of greenhouse gas emissions offsets, and we have signed onto nine industry principles for pending legislation. H.R. 2454 with changes as negotiated by House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson will contain language effectively adhering to the former and satisfying nearly all of the latter. In fact, the changes Chairman Peterson negotiated also address additional concerns about regional flexibility, biomass production and indirect land use calculations.

"Therefore, NAWG supports the passage of H.R. 2454 with the Peterson amendment.¬ 

"We acknowledge the inevitability of greenhouse gas regulation--whether that comes through legislation produced by Congress or rules issued by the Environmental Protection Agency under authority given by the Supreme Court.

"Members of NAWG's staff and leadership have worked for a number of years to ensure that agriculture has a place in any climate change legislation and that producers are able to reap potential benefits rather than just accept coming costs."
