Section 3104

A little-noted provision of the farm bill is under scrutiny by the progressive group CommonDreams.org. From their press release April 7:

Agricultural corporations Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland have started an aggressive lobbying effort to drop a provision from the Farm Bill which would establish a voluntary certification program related to imports made using forced labor and child labor. Section 3104 of the Farm Bill, called Voluntary Certification of Child Labor Status of Agricultural Imports, would provide a method which producers of agricultural products could use to certify that their products are free of child labor and forced labor.

TK: I Googled this provision and came up with absolutely no other news references. If anyone else has heard of this and its significance, please provide a comment here.
