I received several Google Alerts about this and actually thought it was an old article recirculated since David Farrimond was quoted, but this article calls him former head of the CMC, so I guess it is current. I actually was called by staffers at my Congressman and Senator’s offices to see if United Cranberry supported this request and I told them yes, we do. Both of them are against this kind of spending, but I said as long as the government has it in the budget to do these things, why not cranberries when we have an oversupply?
This article doesn’t say if the purchase has actually happened…the request was made back in September 2011.
