American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on USDA's selection of pilot projects through its Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities.

"AFBF congratulates the organizations that were selected for USDA's Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities. We are pleased that several projects that received support from AFBF and involve state Farm Bureaus were selected to receive funding.

"AFBF is proud to be a founding member of the Food and Agriculture Climate Alliance, which believes conservation goals should be voluntary and market-driven. We're pleased that USDA based the program on FACA recommendations, and believe this is a positive step toward advancing conservation solutions that respect farmers as partners."
