Farmers and farm landowners are
cordially invited to attend the 2014 Farm Bill Information Sessions.
The Agricultural Act of 2014 authorized
several new programs and modified many other programs that will impact farms
across Virginia.
Plan to attend a 2014 Farm Bill
Information Session, hosted by the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, and hear
the latest news about farm program changes affecting farm safety net,
marketing, conservation, risk management and rural development provisions.
Whether your interests include
row or specialty crops, cow/calf or dairy, conventional or organic, United
States Department of Agriculture staff will present beneficial information for
your farming operation.
Each 2 – 2 ½ hour session will
conclude with an opportunity to meet USDA staff for additional information.
