Red barn and farmland for 2012 Farm Bill

 Dear Mid Atlantic Farmer ,
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.
