On August 1, LWV UMRR will host a discussion based on the recent Mississippi River Network Webinar - Farm Bill 101.  This webinar featured Liz Rupel (Illinois Stewardship Alliance), Jesse Womack (National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition), and Duane Hovorka (Izaak Walton League of America) for this “Farm Bill 101” webinar.  The recording of the event is post on the MRN YouTube channel.   This video will be the basis for the discussion on August 1.  Want to join the discussion?  CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE ZOOM ON AUGUST 1 AT 11AM!
In this video, we learn about this major piece of federal legislation that shapes farming livelihoods, how food is grown, what kinds of foods are grown, and its impacts on our environment.    This is the first step in our process of providing information and advocacy opportunities to those in our UMRR community on the Farm Bill.  We will roll our more in the weeks to come.
