House Farm Bill field hearings announced

House Ag Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (R-OK) announced a series of field hearings for the 2012 Farm Bill today.

Lucas says the field hearings are the next step in the Farm Bill development because “it gives us (lawmakers) a chance to see the countryside and visit with those directly impacted by our policy decisions in Washington.”  He says agricultural policy affects every American and “ensures farmers and ranchers have the tools necessary to continue to produce an affordable and stable food supply.”
