Kansas Soybean Association President Ron Westervelt, Columbus, praised the Kansas Senate for passing House Bill 2674, the commodity commissions restructuring bill.
The Senate passed the bill by a vote of 37 to three. In late February, the Kansas House of Representatives passed the bill by a vote of 110 to 13.
"This bill was a top priority with our organization and several other farm organizations within the state," said Westervelt. "The Kansas Soybean Association is extremely pleased with both chambers of the state legislature for adopting this measure, especially given the condition of the state's budget concerns.
"Interest from the collected checkoff funds now will be used to finance additional research, education, market development and promotional opportunities," said Westervelt. Under existing law, the interest from the collected commodity checkoff funds would go to the state's general fund. "Another benefit to this bill includes growers having the opportunity to elect their commodity commissioners, instead of the commissioners being an appointed position by the governor.
"The Kansas Soybean Association believes the passage of this bill will allow the Kansas Soybean Commission, and other commodity commissions, to be more flexible and responsive to requests for funding special projects that would benefit farmers," he said.
Westervelt said the restructuring should not affect farmers. "Farmers and grain elevator operators won't see any changes made to the checkoff program as a result of this bill being passed," said Westervelt. "Basically speaking, the commodity checkoff programs will remain the same."
