Johanns to unveil Farm Bill proposals

Picking sites in Mississippi, Iowa, California and Tennessee, Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns will brief American agriculture on the Administration's pending farm bill proposals. The first event is set for Jan. 31 in the Cotton Country of Tunica, Miss.,, followed by a Corn Belt town meeting later that day in Des Moines, Ia., and then a Feb. 1 gathering in the fruit belt in Modesto, Calif.

We can at least feel encouraged he didn't leave out California from his agenda. Perhaps the industry will like what it will hears from Johanns this week.
