The Agriculture Appropriations Conference Committee has issued its report, and NAIS got $5.3 million in funding for Fiscal Year 2010. This is about 1/3 of what USDA had requested ($14.76 million). Thank you to everyone who took the time to call their Congressman and the Conference Committee members!
