interview WITH:
Sen. Pat Roberts
'Dang fool' regulations coming out of DC more important to ag than the farm bill
The top Republican on the Senate Ag Committee bristles at the suggestion that he's blocking a legislative fix to a court order requiring EPA to regulate aquatic pesticide applications, and he says the Labor Department's child labor in agriculture proposal should be withdrawn. Speaking the day after the Senate Ag panel's first farm bill hearing of 2012, Sen. Pat Roberts says he and Chairman Debbie Stabenow are working in a bipartisan fashion to markup a bill ASAP containing a "crop insurance-plus" commodity title that serves the needs of all of U.S. agriculture.
