Farm Bill 2002: Commodity Information
2002 Farm Bill Educational Meetings
Download this document in Wordperfect
Educational meetings are being
held throughout the state. These meetings are designed to provide producers,
landowners, lenders, and other interested persons the opportunity to learn
the latest information on the farm bill, to understand it's provisions,
to assist them to understand it's impacts, and assist them to make more
informed decisions. Time is allotted for questions and discussion.
Final Farm Service Agency
(FSA) regulations have not been received but it is our hope that the education
and information in these meetings will help producers, landowners, and
others understand the forthcoming decisions to be made and make more informed
decisions when FSA technical rules, forms, and data are known.
These meetings (date, time,
and location) are being scheduled and coordinated through local Cooperative
Extension Service offices. These meetings are multi-county
or area meetings. If interested in attending the meeting
at the location nearest you, please contact your local University of Georgia
Cooperative Extension Service office for further information.
Please check this page regularly for updates and additional meetings as added.
