The Virginia Agriculture & Forestry Initiative 2007-2008

With the significant positive impacts agriculture and forestry industries have on the citizens of the Commonwealth, all candidates for the November, 2007 elections to the Virginia Senate and the Virginia House of Delegates are provided the opportunity to demonstrate their support for key issues affecting these industries. As a supporter of the Virginia Agriculture and Forestry Initiative 2007-2008, candidates commit to partnering with the sponsoring organizations to advocate for sound legislation to promote:

Competitiveness and profitability for agriculture and forestry enterprises.
Programs to sustain and protect our natural resources.
Smart choices to continue “working” farm and forestlands in the Commonwealth.
