Subject: Governor Signed Seed Bill Today
Dear IFU Members and Friends,
Our lobbyist Carlos Jayne
just called to let us know that he has received a
courtesy call from
Governor Vilsack's office informing us that the Governor
signed the
agricultural seed bill into law this morning (SF 259, HF 642).
This is the
law that will prohibit counties from labeling or regulating
agricultural
seed, including GMO/GE seed.
Thank you to all of you who contacted the
Governor and your legislators to
voice opposition to this
legislation.
