• includes a sense of the Senate resolution that funding for organic research should be commensurate with organic agriculture's share of the market, currently about 3 percent.
“We in the organic community appreciate all the support we have received for our priorities in the Senate. Thank you to Chairman Harkin, Senator Leahy, who led efforts to create a national organic program, and Senator Chambliss.
