Agri-Pulse has confirmed that USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack and Senate Agriculture Committee leaders are scheduled to appear at next week’s Agri-Pulse Ag & Food Policy Summit March 18 in Washington DC. With a farm bill yet to be passed, Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Ranking Member John Boozman (R-AR) will be able to provide the latest insight into whether there will be a bill yet this year.
The Summit, which this year is titled “Revitalizing Rural Revenues,” will be held at the National Press Club and is also open to virtual attendees. Keynote speakers and panelists will cover a wide variety of ways that people who live and work in Rural America are developing innovative new products from the land and finding creative ways to start businesses.
