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 at www.usda.gov or via a direct link in the Resource Library section of www.ffva.com. One of those listening sessions took place at FFVA’s Annual Convention last September.
