Win this Quilt!
Correction
You could be the proud owner of this beautiful hand-made quilt
featuring a variety of tractors and farm scenes, and help out the WVFB
Young Farmers and Ranchers. Or, if you prefer something with a little
more “oomph,” you can choose a Remington 870 shotgun if your ticket
number is chosen! Winners will be announced at the 2014 Annual
Meeting in November.
WVFB was contacted by
Congressman Nick Rahall’s office
in response to phone calls the
Congressman has been receiving
regarding proposed changes to
the Clean Water Act definition of
“waters of the U.S.”
Tickets for this raffle can be obtained from Eric Thomason, Field
Services Representative, or from any YF&R member. For more
information, contact Eric at 800.398.4630, x. 309 or [email protected].
The Congressman’s office has
informed WVFB that Mr. Rahall
has signed the Collins Schrader
letter, which was circulated in the
U.S. House of Representatives
and then sent to the EPA. The
letter opposes the agency’s attempt
to increase its jurisdiction and
circumvent Congress and the U.S.
Supreme Court with its claim
that all waters are connected and
therefore are waters of the U.S.
WVFB regrets the error.
