March 2nd, 2023 by Joe BurgessThe University of Arkansas at Monticello’s Agriculture auditorium was near capacity, last week, as farmers, business people, bankers, educators, and other stakeholders gathered for a listening session on the 2023 Farm Bill. The session aimed to allow the public to air their views and provide input on what should be included in the new farm legislation. The listening session featured United States Senator John Boozman and Representative Bruce Westerman, who listened to the seven panelists discuss their views on various topics, including crop insurance, conservation programs, rural development, agricultural research, and nutrition assistance programs. Much of the meeting was filled with the audience’s suggestions for the Farm Bill.
