I am pleased that sustainable agriculture practices are included in
the draft cap-and-trade investment plan. Investments in the state’s
existing land resources programs will provide climate and other
environmental and health benefits.  This step is coming at a
critical time as the earth continues to warm. Additional
investments in research, technical assistance and incentives will
encourage farming practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
sequester carbon and help growers adapt to climate change. I also
support investments in farmland protection, particularly if
prioritizing farmland that supports smart growth.  Thank you.
