2008 NEBRASKA AG CLASSIC, NGF TRADE SHOW TO ADDRESS ACRE COMPONENT OF FARM BILL, FUTURE OF AG WITH NEW PRESIDENT
What does the new ACRE Program component of the Farm Bill mean for you and your farm? Brad Lubben, Assistant Professor and Extension Public Policy Specialist in the Department of Ag economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, will help you answer that question. Lubben is involved in teaching, research and extension activities, focusing on agricultural and public policy issues ranging from federal farm programs and trade policies to conservation programs and the environment. He has been traveling the state leading discussions on the new Farm Bill, specifically relating to the ACRE Program. The 2008 Presidential Election will be marked as one of the most significant events in the history of the United States. What impact will this change in leadership have on agriculture?
