Dear Farm Aid News reader,
In an effort to further our nation's awareness about the
continuing farm crisis, Farm Aid is making changes in the
production of our bi-weekly news bulletin. Farm Aid News
will become an expanded 3-4 page monthly publication
beginning November 21, 1995.
The November issue of Farm Aid News will examine the 1995
Farm Bill, its development process, farmers' expectations,
and the White House response to proposed changes in federal
farm legislation.
In upcoming months, Farm Aid News will continue to explore
issues affecting family farm survival, such as the rise of
factory farms and corporate concentration, as well as
sustainable agriculture and rural development.
Regular profiles of farm organizations that work directly
with farmers to create new solutions to the problems that
overwhelm our countryside will be highlighted in each news
issue. Additionally, Farm Aid News will begin providing an
extensive monthly listing of events, resources and action
alerts.
We'd like to continue to give farm and rural leaders the
chance to voice their vision for a bountiful future in rural
America. If your organization has people interested in
sharing their stories and experiences, please provide the
information requested below, including the names and
telephone numbers of family farmers in your area.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Harry Smith and Gigi DiGiacomo
