The latest Farm Foundation Forum will be held next Tuesday, July 14, 2009 from 9-11 am at the National Press Club, 529 14th Street NW, in Washington D.C. The topic this time will be the competition for water resources:

Presenters include: Erik Peterson of the Center for Strategic and International Studies; Dan Keppen of the Family Farm Alliance; Karl Wirkus of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation; and Noel Gollehon of USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service. The Environmental Working Group has also been invited to participate.

Just like the other great forums that Farm Foundation has sponsored, this one will bring together lots of folks from divergent points of view with plenty of discussion to come up with real solutions for the issues facing American agriculture. If you can participate in this free forum, you need to get your RSVP into Linda Singer (e-mail her at linda@farmfoundation.org) by close of business on Thursday, July 9. And even if you can’t be there in person, the folks at Farm Foundation will have audio from the event at this Web site.
