The Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance is opposed to the use of specialty crop funds for non-specialty crops, including hemp. This alliance is a coalition of more than 200 organizations representing the fruit, vegetable, tree nut and horticulture industries. In a letter to House and Senate agriculture committee leaders, the Alliance said the specialty crop industry developed important research marketing and trade programs in the past 20 years. The coalition does not want its limited funding to go to hemp and other new commodities.
