No reference price is included. The Committee believes USDA cannot implement the STAX program in a timely manner and therefore continues to provide direct payments to cotton producers at 70% of cotton base acres in 2014 and 60% of cotton base acres in No provision is made to eliminate the direct payments if USDA can indeed implement the STAX program earlier. Prohibits unscientific state barriers to interstate commerce when those barriers are based solely on production practices. This would not impact a state s right to set its own production standards. It simply says a state can t force those standards on imports from other states. USDA and the Food and Drug Adminstration are both required to inspect catfish. Authorizes USDA to establish an industry funded checkoff for organic products. USDA s authority to inspect catfish is repealed. Authorizes USDA to establish an industryfunded checkoff for organic products. Makes it a federal offense to attend an animal fighting venue. 5
