Agriculture committee  The position that FCC takes is that until the law has changed and we have a clear path forward with regard to what the customers are experiencing, we work with the status quo. We are cognizant of potential changes that are on the horizon, but at this point in time, until those ch

Agriculture committee  The customers in question are well versed about their situation, so FCC does not feel that it is our position to provide that counsel to these customers.
