California Poultry Federation Opposes User Fees
US - Group joins others in rejection of user fees in any Congressional budget proposal.The California Poultry Federation (CPF) has joined with other national farm organizations in urging Congress to reject the inclusion of user fees in any Congressional budget proposal.
