And we face challenges to our commodity suppport programs from the international marketplace - all at a time of rising Federal deficits. What can we expect from the new Farm Bill? What are the opportunities it presents & the practical realities we must face? What positions will be taken and arguments made by the varied interests likely to influence the debate? Are there coalitions to be formed and agreements to be reached that might help farmers here in Washintong and nationwide? This Washington State conference on U.S. Farm policy features addresses by Director Valoria Loveland, WSDA, and Congressman Doc Hastings.
