Dear Renee,
Only every five years is there such a significant
opportunity to influence agriculture in the Mid-Atlantic—and the nation. The
Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2012 is working its way through the
Senate and on to the House. Its provisions will impact what is grown and
raised, where and when it is produced, and how the land is farmed and protected
for future generations. Please join our upcoming webinar to update farmers and advocates in the region on the progress of this critical piece
of farm and food legislation.
