Farm Bill meeting draws big crowd

Over 450 attended a meeting in Darke Co. on March 20 that provided insight into the new Farm Bill.

Darke County Extension educator Sam Custer says some left the meeting with unanswered questions and for others, concerns.

“Probably the most interesting one that raised some concerns from farmers that were in attendance is that decisions will have to be signed-off on by both the landowner and the farmer,” Custer said. “They’ll have to agree to the route or avenue choices they make, so that has some concerned.”

Custer says a dairy meeting will be held in September and as more Farm Bill details are known other meetings will be held.
