18 CapitalPress.com October 7, 2016 Election Election Agency reviews need to be streamlined with all unneces- sary red-tape cut out.” CLINTON: “Our goal should be to ind policy solu- tions that are grounded in science and respect consum- ers. Hillary understands the need for a national solution to the GMO labeling question — one that provides consis- tency to food companies and consumers across state lines. And she is glad Republicans and Democrats have worked together to build a bipartisan solution to this issue.” CONTINUED from Page 17 that America’s ranchers and farmers are proud stewards of their lands, and that America’s wildlife depend on the health of working lands to survive and thrive. That is why she will increase both the avail- ability and accessibility of funding to incentivize volun- tary private conservation. For example, Hillary will work to fully fund the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and will instruct her Secretary of Agriculture to establish a “one-stop shop” to help farmers and ranchers identify programs that can provide inancial support for their conservation practices, including securing additional access for sportsmen, includ- ing hunters. Hillary also believes that we should be doing more to slow and reverse the decline of at-risk wildlife species before they reach the brink of extinc- tion and need the protection of the Endangered Species Act. To this end, Hillary will pro- pose nearly doubling the State and Tribal Wildlife Grants program to $100 million per year. This type of support for the voluntary conservation of at-risk wildlife can help reduce the need for species to receive the protections of the Endangered Species Act (ESA). For wildlife that are listed as threatened or en- dangered, Hillary will direct federal agencies to take full advantage of the lexible tools available under the ESA that respect and accommodate landowner interests, including safe harbor agreements, hab- itat conservation agreements, and other forms of voluntary conservation measures.” Immigration CLINTON: “Hillary knows that migrant farm- workers play a critical role in developing and supporting our agricultural economy. She has heard from farmers across the country who have expressed their frustrations about our broken immigration system. That’s why as president, Hillary will introduce com- prehensive immigration re- form with a pathway to full and equal citizenship within her irst 100 days in ofice. It will treat every person with dignity, ix the family visa backlog, uphold the rule of law, protect our borders and national security, and bring millions of hardworking peo- ple into the formal economy. Hillary understands that the agricultural industry needs comprehensive immigration reform to protect both farm owners and the workers they employ, and ensure American families are able to put af- fordable, fresh food on their tables.” TRUMP: “I recognize the unique labor challenges fac- ing the American farm com- munity and will include farm- ers and ranchers in the process of determining the best possi- ble immigration policies. To be clear, the Obama-Clinton system of open borders is wreaking havoc on our ru- ral communities. Enormous stresses are being placed on state and local government services, while jobs for Amer- ican citizens and wages for American workers are in de- cline. Here are my three core principles of real immigration reform: 1. A nation without borders is not a nation. There must be a wall across the southern bor- der. 2. A nation without laws is Dan Wheat/Capital Press Wheat is combined north of Waterville, Wash., Aug. 18. Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton say they support a safety net for farmers in the next Farm Bill. not a nation. Laws passed in accordance with our Constitu- tional system of government must be enforced. 3. A nation that does not serve its own citizens is not a nation. Any immigration plan must improve jobs, wages and security for all Americans. Trade/TPP TRUMP: “As President, I will be an aggressive pro- ponent for defending the economic interests of Amer- ican workers and farmers on the world stage. I will ight against unfair trade deals and foreign trade practices that disadvantage the United States. “I strongly oppose TPP as drafted and will work hard to develop trade agreements that are in the national interest and beneit American workers in- cluding our farmers.” CLINTON: “Hillary has a long record of standing up to countries like China. She fought against the Chinese when they tried to discrimi- nate against New York com- panies, and she went toe-to- toe with them as Secretary of State. As president, Hillary will also crack down on for- eign countries who cheat the rules by appointing a new trade prosecutor to keep oth- er countries honest, and will use all of our tools to en- sure other countries treat our products fairly, including our anti-dumping and counter- vailing duty laws, and pursu- ing taking cases at the WTO. Hillary has also established a plan to stop rewarding U.S. companies for moving jobs overseas.” On TPP — “For genera- tions, America has been the breadbasket of the world. Hil- lary believes we can and must forge better trade deals for American workers, farmers, and other businesses. She be- lieves any trade deal must cre- ate American jobs, raise wag- es, and improve our national security. Every new trade deal must meet that test. In fact, Hillary opposed the only multilateral trade deal she voted on in the Senate be- cause it didn’t meet that stan- dard. And as soon as the de- tails of the inal TPP deal were inalized — including what it contains on currency manipu- lation and pharmaceuticals — she came out in opposition. It didn’t meet her standard. The TPP also contains a weak “rules of origin” standard on automobiles that gives a backdoor into our markets to countries like China. Hillary has been clear and speciic in her opposition to the TPP. She opposes it now, she opposes it in November, and she will not move it forward in January.” Farm Bill CLINTON: “Hillary knows the Farm Bill’s reau- thorization presents an incred- ibly important opportunity to set both our agricultural and rural development policy pri- Capital Press File Cargo containers are shown being loaded on ships at the Port of Portland in this ile photo.

That’s why she will work to ensure we provide a fo- cused safety net for farmers and ranchers by continuing to make progress in target- ing federal resources in com- modity payment, crop insur- ance, and disaster assistance programs — which is all the more important with current commodity market prices. She will also support the next generation of farmers by doubling funding for the Be- ginning Farmer and Rancher Development program and strengthening USDA grant programs to make them less about bureaucratic buck- ets and more about funding lexibility, leveraging local resources, and measuring re- sults. The Farm Bill also pro- vides the opportunity to im- prove and enhance our rural development programs that are so pivotal to raising the standard of living in many ru- ral communities — including programs to enhance broad- band access, improve soil health and manage wastewa- ter, and expand access to cred- it for small businesses.” TRUMP: “The Trump- Pence Administration will be an active participant in writing the next Farm Bill and delivering it on time! Our farmers deserve a good farm bill written by those who are thankful for our re- markable food system in this country. I support a strong safety net for our nation’s farmers. “Importantly, I have as- sembled an Agriculture Ad- visory Committee comprised of leaders who represent the best that America can offer to help serve agricultural com- munities. Many of these of- icials have been elected by their communities to solve the issues that impact our rural ar- eas every day. I’m very proud to stand with these men and women, and look forward to serving with them in serving all Americans from the White House. Biotechnology TRUMP: “I support the use of technology in food production, which has en- abled American farmers to increase yields to levels nev- er before experienced in the history of the world. Through innovation, American farm- ers are producing crops more resilient to drought, heat, and pests. Government should not block positive technological advancements in agriculture. Food safety CLINTON: “Due to the ingenuity of America’s farmers and ranchers, consumers across the world have access to better, safer, and a wider variety of food options than ever before. Hillary Clinton believes that supporting that ingenuity goes hand in hand with ensuring food quality and safety. That’s why, as president, Hillary will ight to increase our investment in the basic and applied research that makes agricultural advance- ments possible. She will also ight to en- sure that America’s farmers and ranchers of all sizes have the tools they need to succeed. That means expanding access to capital; investing in rural transportation, water, and broadband infrastructure; and continuing to make progress in targeting federal resources in commodity payment, crop insurance, and disaster assis- tance programs. Hillary also believes we should work to build a strong local and regional food sys- tem by doubling funding for the Farmers Market Promo- tion Program and the Local Food Promotion Program. By expanding food hubs and farmers markets, increasing access to fresh food, and en- couraging direct sales to local schools, hospitals, retailers and wholesalers, we can in- crease consumer access to food and support American farmers and ranchers.” “As president, Hillary will always engage a wide range of stakeholders, including farmers and ranchers, to hear their concerns and ideas for how we can ensure our rural communities and our agri- culture sector remain vibrant. If there are implementation challenges with a particular regulation, Hillary will work with all stakeholders to ad- dress them.” TRUMP: “The Trump Ad- ministration will be a pro-ag- riculture Administration. As President, I will ight for American farmers and their families. Through hard work, per- sistence and innovation, and making wise use of our na- tion’s God-given lands and resources, American farmers are the best in the world at growing the food and other products that people need to lourish. Growing our farm sector and supporting our na- tion’s farmers are absolutely critical steps to making Amer- ica great again. Too often, bad policies and needless government man- dates harm farmers and make food and farm products more costly for consumers. I sup- port, and will implement, pol- icies that are good for farmers and consumers. For example, I oppose unwarranted govern- ment mandates that hurt farm- ers and confuse consumers, such as mandatory biotech labeling. I will also ight for tax reform that reduces tax burdens on American farmers. We will end the death tax. I will reverse the EPA’s war on farmers by rescind- ing the Waters of the U.S. rule, climate rule, and the host of other regulations that are harming farmers without helping the environment. I will appoint justices to the Supreme Court who will de- fend the 2nd Amendment. Hillary Clinton will appoint justices who will eviscerate 2nd Amendment rights. Most importantly, we will get the entire U.S. economy growing again, which will be a boon to the Agriculture sector as well.” Joyce Capital, Inc. In agriculture, nothing is certain.
