Explanation
(This amendment provides $50,000 in the second year to fund programs to develop early detection and monitoring tools and/or research for fungicide efficacy for Asian soybean rust. Soybean rust has been identified in Louisiana in December, and if it reaches Virginia it has the potential to destroy the Commonwealth's soybean crops.)
