AG COMMITTEE LAUNCHES ONLINE FARM BILL FEEDBACK FORM The
U.S. House Agriculture Committee announced Monday (May 8) the launch of a web-based
farm bill feedback form on its website. The form, accessible from www.agriculture.house.gov,

about current farm policy as well as input about the future of farm policy. The
committee created the form to supplement field hearings it has been holding throughout
the country where producers have offered input regarding the crafting of the 2007
Farm Bill. The 2002 Farm Bill expires September 2007, and debate on the new bill
is expected to begin in early 2007. The
information submitted to the committee via the website will not be part of the
Congressional Record, but will be shared with Members of the House Committee on
Agriculture. ALSO IN THIS WEEK'S RAP-UP (Members-Only articles are indicated in bold.) | |
