FARM BILL COMMENT SUMMARIES RELEASED

Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns announced Wednesday (March 29) that USDA has completed a summary of the public comments submitted verbally and in writing during USDA's Farm Bill Forum listening tour. The summaries will serve as a basis for USDA policy review and analysis in preparation for the 2007 farm bill.

The summary papers announced today are available on the USDA website. One of those listening sessions took place at FFVA’s Annual Convention last September.
