Farm Bill Webinars

My apologies to anyone who follows this blog.  It's amazing how quickly time passes. 

With the recent passage of the 2014 Farm Bill, there are many agricultural producers who have many questions.  Many of the programs of the old Farm Bill have either been discontinued or changed and replaced with new programs.  As a way to help answer some questions and provide general information in regards to the new programs, the Ag in Uncertain Times group of Extension professionals will be hosting webinars related to different pieces of legislation held in the bill. 

The webinars will be held at 10:00 AM (MST) on the following days and will cover the following topics:

March 17- Dairy Margin Programs and Livestock Disaster Programs
March 24- Commodity Programs and Crop Insurance
March 31- Conservation Title, Horticulture, Beginning Farmer Programs, and more
April 7- Nutrition Title and Food Policy Programs

All of these webinars will be shown in the meeting room at the Richland County Extension Office or you are welcome to log onto http://www.farmmanagement.org/aginuncertaintimesenglish/ and click on the link provided to view the webinars yourself. 

There is also a link on this site to a previous webinar that gave an overview of the new Farm Bill and the new Programs that are contained in it.  This webinar is recorded and can be viewed at any time by visiting http://www.farmmanagement.org/aginuncertaintimesenglish/2014/03/03/march-3rd-2014-webinar-recordings-the-2014-farm-bill-an-overview/
