My first call

I've been out of the office on vacation for a couple of days, but my first call tomorrow will be to the United Fresh Produce Association. What is the early view of the chairman's mark in the House Agriculture Committee? With the fruit and vegetable snack program apparently left to rely on reserve funds while the specialty crop block grants have tens of million in paid for funding, it will be interesting to see how the attempt to push both priorities with equal force will proceed. Meanwhile, I would like to see a House Ag Committee accounting of the $685 million for f/v priorities purportedly in the chairman's mark.
