WASHINGTON—Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) was today named the new chair of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry. The American Sugar Alliance released the following statement applauding her selection. “Senator Lincoln has proven time and time again that she is a champion for production agriculture, and we are thrilled that she was chosen to lead the Senate Agriculture Committee. Hailing from Arkansas, Lincoln knows the importance of agriculture to the country’s economy and understands how vital it is for America to maintain a safe, affordable, and abundant supply of homegrown food and fiber. While sugar is not produced in her state, the Senator has been a strong supporter of sugar policy, and we look forward to working closely with her for years to come.” -0-
