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.

questions.

staffers have been invited to take part.
