Farm Bill Forums are the USDA’s efforts to discuss the Farm Bill and hear how it could meet the future needs of our communities.   When participating in the forums, the public is welcome to comment on the six questions posted at the link below.  Additionally, there will be an open comment period for general Farm Bill questions.  The USDA team will be hosting additional forums in the upcoming months.  EESI will keep you updated on these forums.
