As a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, I was pleased to be part of the development and passage of the 2008 Farm Bill, which was approved by the Senate in December 2007. In an effort to address the various questions that farmers, producers and others have regarding the legislation, I hosted an iTownHall meeting focused soledly on the 2008 Farm Bill. I was joined by several USDA experts, who helped field questions from Idahoans. To listen to an audio file of the full meeting, please click here; the full meeting runs about 92 minutes.
