Farm News: Kind To Discuss Farm Bill

comments

Posted: 08.19.2011

 

Wisconsin Farmers Union, the Center for Rural Affairs, and UW Extension – Jackson are hosting two forums with U.S. Representative Ron Kind to discuss area needs concerning the next Farm Bill.
 
The Farm Bill impacts programs and economic structures on which Wisconsin farmers rely – crop insurance, small business assistance, nutrition and school lunches, subsidies, conservation, rural development, and much more.
 
This is an opportunity to speak directly with Congressman Kind about the many ways the Farm Bill affects Wisconsin farms and to provide input as Congress designs the 2012 bill.
 
Join the Center for Rural Affairs, UW Extension-Jackson, Wisconsin Farmers Union, and Congressman Ron Kind for an open discussion about Wisconsin’s needs in the next Farm Bill.
