R-CALF Appeal Request Denied
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Oct. 13 denied Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund United Stockgrowers of America’s (R-CALF’s) request for a rehearing, the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) reported.
R-CALF filed a petition Sept. 8 in reaction to a judgment issued by a three-judge panel in July that overturned a preliminary injunction placed on Canadian beef and beef product imports into the U.S.
The same three-judge panel denied the rehearing request, according to CCA. Stan Eby, CCA president, reported that R-CALF would now have to appeal the case to the Supreme Court if it is to continue its efforts to reverse the overturning of the preliminary injunction.
USDA Announces Funding Conservation Programs
Agriculture Deputy Secretary Chuck Conner Oct. 14 announced the release of nearly $1.7 billion in fiscal year (FY) 2006 funding for voluntary conservation farm bill programs on working lands.
Through cooperative conservation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will help farmers and ranchers make sound conservation decisions that improve soil, water, air and wildlife habitat on privately owned working lands.
FY 2006 allocations include $1.345 billion in financial assistance and $337 million for technical assistance for NRCS voluntary conservation programs. States will receive additional money after Congress makes final funding decisions through the FY 2006 appropriations process.
With financial and technical assistance from NRCS, producers and other landowners will continue to address resource concerns on agricultural working lands, promote environmental quality, address challenges in water quality and quantity, protect prime farmland and grazing lands, and protect valuable wetland ecosystems and fish and wildlife habitat.
Additional information on key conservation programs and specific allocations is available at www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs. Landowners who want specific information on program participation should contact their local USDA Service Center or NRCS office.
