Farm Bill Meeting – Eldorado
11/19/2014 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service personnel have scheduled an educational meeting on Nov. 19 from 9 a.m. – noon at the Schleicher County Community Center, 427 U.S. Highway 277 South, in Eldorado for farmers on the intricacies of the new farm bill.
Bill Thompson, AgriLife Extension economist at San Angelo, said the free public meetings are collaborative efforts among AgriLife Extension, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency and Natural Resources Conservation Service. Thompson said the meetings are designed to help producers through the new farm bill’s decision-making process.
“Each of the meetings will be tailored to the needs at that particular site. This may range from a full classroom presentation on the farm bill and overview of the available decision-making aids, to simply helping producers by answering individual questions while they study their own operations on their own computers,” Thompson said.
Producers seeking additional information should check with their local AgriLife Extension agent.
