The 2012 Farm Bill presents a critical opportunity for the nation to strengthen conservation programs that protect the land and environment in the most efficient manner possible.
Today, we announced our priorities for the coming farm bill, Agenda 2012: Transforming U.S. Farm Policy for the 21st Century. We will be working around the clock to secure a farm bill that protects the nation’s farm and ranch land so we can produce the food we need for a growing population; supports sound stewardship on our working lands to safeguard clean water, air and wildlife; and promotes policies and programs that help keep farms and ranches thriving.
