Bakers Band Together to Demand Relief - ABA Calls for March on Washington
The American Bakers Association is calling upon all bakers to band together
in Washington, D.C. for an industry march to stress the urgency of the current
wheat situation. We will meet with the White House, USDA and key members of
Congress.
On March 12, ABA is arranging for the “Band of Bakers” to meet with
newly confirmed Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer and senior White House
officials. In addition, ABA will be arranging meetings with key Senators and
Representatives so that bakers can stress the urgency of the current wheat
situation, as well as ask Congress to realistically reassess the recent
infatuation with ethanol production. The recently passed Energy Act calls for
even higher ethanol production targets in coming years.
