Utah Farm Bureau President Ken i Ashby, farmer from Delta, supports the move, especially as Utah prepares to host the Olympics. Utah is no stranger to agro terrorism, Ashby said. Our mink producers suffered one of the biggest and costly agro terrorism attacks in the nation a few years ago. We continue to be the seco.id largest mink producing state in the U.S. and we have livestock auctions, also a target of terrorism in the oast. With the world coming to Utah in just a few months, we need to be vigilant in increasing security and the awareness of agroterrorism. In a letter to President Bush, AFBF President Bob Stallman requested that a special high-levstaff position be appointed to serve under Gov. Tom Ridge, head of the new Office of Homeland Security. The proposed position would develop ways to even el better safeguard agriculture and Americas food supply from the potential impact of agro terrorism. We take seriously the ability of terrorists to transmit a foreign animal disease into the United States, Stallman said. As the nation and the world prepare to embark on a war against terrorism there are concerns and speculation regarding how agriculture and other sectors of the economy will be affected. An attack aimed at the safety of our food supply and agricultural infrastructure could damcause widespread and long-terage. We must continue to increase surveillance and ensure that adequate USDAresources are available to combatany posed biological threat or mobilize against any occurrence. Farm Bureau also applauded the appointment of Gov. Ridge to head the Office ofHomeland Security, stating he "will provide great leadership in overseeingand coordinatings comprehensive national strategy to safeguard our country against terrorism."
