Discussing the 2012 Elections
Farm Foundation is a not for profit organization that works to provide information to create a deeper understanding of issues facing agriculture.
Farm Foundation’s Mary Thompson says for the last few years they have been putting on forums to engage others with questions about agriculture. “It seemed appropriate that our November 14th forum will be on what the 2012 Elections will mean for food, agriculture, and rural policies,” she says.
Thompson tells Brownfield the panelists are from various fields within the agriculture industry. They consist of: Craig Jagger, Legis Consulting; Ferd Hoefner, Policy Director, National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition; Robert Paarlberg, Professor of Political Science, Wellesley College; Christopher Waldrop, Director of the Food Policy Institute, Consumer Federation of America; John Hardin, Indiana farmer; Erik Johnston, Associate Legislative Director for Agriculture and Rural Affairs, National Association of Counties.
“They will be there to provide some perspectives on what they see happening,” she says. “Following their presentations – the panelists will be available for questions and discussions.”
The upcoming Farm Foundation Forum takes place Wednesday, November 14, 2012 from 9:00am to 11:am EDT at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. Thompson says because of the increased interest in this forum – it will also be webcast and archived for replay.
