RMA ADMINISTRATOR PLANS ILLINOIS LISTENING SESSIONS

Martin Barbre, administrator of the USDA’s Risk Management Agency, will hold a series of listening sessions with Illinois farmers next week. “With the Farm Progress Show being in Illinois this year, we decided to set up listening sessions all across the state,” said Barbre. “What I’m looking for is simply – how do our policies affect you? Is there something you see that we could do better? I want to hear the good things that are working for you.” (FarmWeekNow)
