House Ag Committee Continues Farm Bill Field Hearings

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Tomorrow, House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson continues a series of field hearings to hear from
people about U.S. farm policy in advance of the 2012 Farm Bill.

Starting Friday, the House Agriculture Committee will hold hearings in Morrow, Georgia; Troy, Alabama; Lubbock, Texas; and Sioux
Falls, South Dakota.

Details for the Farm Bill field hearings are included below. For those who cannot attend the hearings, the House Agriculture
Committee plans to provide live video coverage of most hearing on the Committee's website:

will not be webcast, but the Committee plans to provide video from the other hearings.

The Committee will also collect public comments about the Farm Bill on its website:
