Farm Bill Resources Added to AgLaw Web Library
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's recent announcement that it will hold forums to consider the next farm bill raises the visibility of a question already being discussed in rural America: What should the next Farm Bill look like?
Just as its predecessors, the 2007 Farm Bill is sure to have a significant impact on the agricultural economy and rural communities. Recognizing the importance of the upcoming 2007 Farm Bill, several states and farm organizations have scheduled summer meetings and public forums to examine the issues involved in the legislation.
To provide easy access to valuable Farm Bill resources, the National Agricultural Law Center has added a special Farm Bills section to its Web site at http://www.NationalAglawCenter.org.
Under a cooperative agreement with USDA's National Agricultural Library, the center digitized all historic farm bill legislation from 1933 to the present and now provides the only Internet access to the text of that legislation. The new section also supplies legislative history for farm bill legislation since 1973 and numerous resource links for the 1996 and 2002 Farm Bills. The center's team of law and research professors, lawyers, other specialists and graduate assistants from the UA graduate program in agricultural law will provide historical analysis of the Farm Bill legislation and will continue to provide updated resources and links as they develop.
