ASI Directors Request Lamb Meat Purchase
February 5, 2010
The American Sheep Industry Association's (ASI) board of directors unanimously approved a request that a section 32 lamb meat purchase program be authorized for additional funding by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) to help sheep producers in 2010. Section 32 funds for this year would pull through stronger prices for lamb purchases.
In a letter to Craig Morris, AMS deputy administrator, Glen Fisher, ASI president, praised AMS for its support of the lamb industry.
The letter can be viewed on the home page at www.sheepusa.org.
