Farm Bill Update 2008
The Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (the official name for the 2008 Farm Bill) has finally been enacted into law...with one small glitch.
Check out our Farm Bill page for a detailed update on the situation, and keep checking back. We'll work to keep you updated and informed as the situation progresses. There is some good news! The bill allocates $78 million in mandatory funding for Organic Research and Extension, five times more than was allocated in the 2002 Bill!
