“U.S. Agricultural Policy: Prospects for Change”
December 5 @ 12 noon

Robert Thompson, Gardner Chair in Agricultural Policy, Department of Agricultural and Consumer Sciences, University of Illinois


Talk description:
Thompson examines agricultural policy focusing on the U.S. Farm Bill. With 93 percent of agricultural support going to producers of five commodities and over 60 percent of U.S. agriculture getting no support, many question the equity of our commodity programs. Learn how new players are introducing new concepts and priorities into the farm bill debate.
