WASHINGTON DC <\/strong>\u2013 Hoy, el Senado adopt\u00f3 la enmienda al seguro de cultivos org\u00e1nicos patrocinada por el senador Jeff Merkley de Oreg\u00f3n y la senadora Olympia J. Snowe de Maine. La enmienda, que mejorar\u00e1 el seguro de cosechas para los agricultores org\u00e1nicos, se incorporar\u00e1 al proyecto de ley agr\u00edcola mientras se dirige a una votaci\u00f3n final en el Senado.    <\/p>\n

\n

"Oreg\u00f3n es l\u00edder en agricultura org\u00e1nica y nuestros agricultores merecen un seguro de cosecha que refleje el alto valor de los cultivos que producen", dijo Merkley. \u201cHay m\u00e1s de 500 granjas org\u00e1nicas en Oreg\u00f3n y ese n\u00famero se est\u00e1 expandiendo r\u00e1pidamente. La votaci\u00f3n de hoy es un paso importante hacia un modelo de seguro de cosechas que funcione para este creciente segmento de agricultores de Oreg\u00f3n\u201d. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

"La agricultura org\u00e1nica es una industria vital en Maine, y es fundamental que nuestros agricultores, y los de todo el pa\u00eds, cuenten con un mecanismo de seguro que pueda cubrir de manera adecuada y justa los cultivos que se producen a un ritmo cada vez mayor", dijo el senador Snowe. "Esta enmienda bipartidista garantiza que los agricultores org\u00e1nicos no se vean en desventaja en t\u00e9rminos de seguro de cosechas y nivela las condiciones para una industria agr\u00edcola que est\u00e1 intrincadamente entretejida en todo nuestro gran estado". <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Actualmente, los agricultores org\u00e1nicos pagan una prima m\u00e1s alta por el seguro de cosechas que las granjas no org\u00e1nicas, pero cuando necesitan su seguro, reciben reembolsos a la misma tasa m\u00e1s baja que las granjas no org\u00e1nicas. En el proyecto de ley agr\u00edcola de 2008, el Congreso orden\u00f3 a la Agencia de Gesti\u00f3n de Riesgos del USDA que recopilara datos y estableciera el precio apropiado para los diversos cultivos org\u00e1nicos. Sin embargo, en cuatro a\u00f1os, el USDA s\u00f3lo ha hecho esto con cuatro de las docenas de cultivos org\u00e1nicos en el mercado. <\/p>\n

La enmienda del Senador Merkley requerir\u00eda que el USDA establezca niveles de pago apropiados para los agricultores org\u00e1nicos dentro de tres a\u00f1os. La enmienda cuenta con el respaldo de las siguientes organizaciones:<\/p>\n
