The U.S. House Ag Committee passed a resolution Tuesday to recognize July as National Blueberry Month after a heated discussion concerning misplaced priorities.
South Dakota Congressman Dusty Johnson, a Republican, was outraged days remain before the Livestock Mandatory Price Reporting Rule expires and the committee picked up an outdated resolution for their agenda.
“The extension expires in nine days and yet we are not doing the very real work on that issue, instead we are gathered today to do as the chairman said, ‘to bring well-earned respect to blueberries,’” he said.
