KFB NationalPriorities


• Oppose EPA exceeding legislative authority in the implementation of the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act programs.

• Support NRCS providing technical assistance for the development of additional water resources for irrigation and livestock use.

• All regulations should be based on sound, peer-reviewed scientific data that can be replicated.

• Support congressional oversight of federal agency regulatory actions to ensure rules and regulations do not exceed the intent and authority of federal law.

Efforts to delete the term ‘navigable’ from the Clean Water Act (CWA) and redefine ‘waters of the United States’ continue, and while the likelihood of passing legislation is slim, oversight will be expanded by agency regulation. This would fundamentally change the law by completely unhinging the CWA from the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution for the first time. Such a step would significantly change the intent of Congress when it enacted the CWA, resulting in the most significant expansion of the CWA since its enactment decades ago.

ENVIRONMENT

NOTES:


• Federal crop insurance programs should be maintained at current levels to provide an effective safety net for agriculture.

• Support crop insurance initiatives to maintain the integrity of crop insurance.

Crop insurance and the new Dairy Margin Protection Plan (DMPP) are designed to provide farmers with the safety net to survive major natural disasters or market factors. Crop insurance policies protect farmers against losses due to naturally occurring events such as drought, wind or excessive moisture and the DMPP is designed to kick in when dairy margins fall below a set level for two specific concurrent months. However, attempts to remove significant funding from crop insurance programs threaten the long term viability of an effective crop insurance program.

Insurance fraud continues to be a factor that threatens crop insurance availability for some sectors of the agricultural industry. Fraud not only results in premium increases but could result in producers, counties or the entire state losing crop insurance for specific commodities.

NATIONAL FARM POLICY

NOTES:


• Support fair and open multilateral trade agreements that will open new markets and expand existing markets for U.S. agricultural products.

International trade is an integral part of the modern world economy. U.S. agricultural exports in 2014 grew to over $150 billion and now account for roughly one third of total U.S. farm income, and with the productivity and efficiency of the American farmer, exports can continue to grow. However, it is critical that sound, multilateral international trade agreements are drafted that will help farmers compete globally on a level playing field to have access to the world’s consumers, 95 percent of whom live outside our borders. Kentucky’s agricultural exports total roughly $2.3 billion, with grain, tobacco and poultry being the top commodities exported. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) offers tremendous opportunities for Kentucky and U.S. producers to grow exports.

TRADE

NOTES:


• Support reform of the H-2A program to streamline the process making it more reliable, economical and simple for farmers to participate. Reforms should include moving from Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR) to agriculture prevailing wage.

• Support development of an effective migrant worker program to address labor needs within the livestock industry.

Farmers face a shortage of workers who are willing and able to work on farms and in the fields. Nationally, it is estimated that $5-9 billion in annual production is at risk if an ample supply of farm labor cannot be secured. Currently, farmers and ranchers may recruit workers from abroad under the H-2A temporary guest worker program.

FARM LABOR

NOTES:


• Support a producer’s right to protect livestock and property against nuisance wildlife predation. Support the creation of a nationwide depredation order for black vultures that allows producers the ability to take problem birds without having to secure a federal permit.

• Federal agencies should pursue alternative means to address endangered species concerns.

Black vultures are known to attack and kill calves, lambs, piglets, and other weak animals. This predatory behavior often results in serious injury to livestock, as vultures target the eyes and soft membranous tissues. If not killed outright, these domestic animals must often be euthanized due to the extent of their injuries. The American Black Vulture receives special legal protections under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 in the United States, by the Convention for the Protection of Migratory Birds in Canada, and by the Convention for the Protection of Migratory Birds and Game Mammals in Mexico. In the United States it is illegal to take, kill, or possess black vultures and violation of the law is punishable by a fine of up to $15,000 and imprisonment of up to six months.

WILDLIFE ISSUES

NOTES:


• Support changes to current health care law that will stabilize the market, encourage competition that will reduce health care costs and increase consumer choice.

For many farm families, health insurance is their largest monthly payment. Over the past few years the lack of competition among providers has continued to drive premiums up, with no silver bullet to fix the health insurance situation in sight. Efforts to address health care on a national level have been unsuccessful in delivering quality health care coverage at reasonable costs to Kentuckians. The Kentucky General Assembly has also attempted to address health care issues.

Federal health care reform began in 2009 with final passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Affordable Care Act) early in 2010 and President Obama signing it into law March 23, 2010. Full implementation of the law will not occur until 2018. The stated goal of this legislation is to have affordable health care insurance available to all Americans, but the issue of health care costs is not addressed.

HEALTH CARE

NOTES:


• In order to protect the future integrity of our nation’s economy it is in our best interest to address budget deficits, which erode our ability to remain fiscally stable with the goal of reaching a balanced budget.

• Support the Section 179 small business expensing limit of $500,000, indexed for inflation and 50 percent bonus depreciation being made permanent in tax code.

Increasing federal debt impacts economic growth. Government spending currently accounts for around a fifth of economic activity in the U.S., so if a greater portion of government spending goes to pay higher interest costs fewer dollars remain to build roads, continue federal programs at present levels or provide tax incentives to spur business growth.

Small business expensing and bonus depreciation are important provisions within the US tax code. Section 179 small business expensing allows a taxpayer to deduct all of the cost of new or used business property rather than depreciating the cost over a longer period of time.
