    The U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee recently approved $450,000 in federal funding for Delaware to improve avian flu preparedness and local irrigation systems.

    Sens. Joe Biden and Tom Carper, both Democrats, said Tuesday that $350,000 of the funds are designated for an irrigation program at the Delaware Department of Agriculture and $100,000 will go to the University of Delaware to upgrade avian flu diagnostic and biocontainment facilities.



    "In the beginning of change, the patriot is a scarce man (or woman https://flutrackers.com/forum/core/i...ilies/wink.png), and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for it then costs nothing to be a patriot."- Mark TwainReason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it. -Thomas Paine
