Re: summary of farm bill?

Hi Willian,

How can we support the continuation of the CRP, WRP and other conservation
programs.  Perhaps more importantly how can we indicate our desire for the
Grassland Reserve Program to be included.  This gives me great reason for
hope.  Thanks for the post.

conservation issues and will hold hearings in the next week or so.
