Hello All! Please Share Widely!

FARM BILL FORUM & ADVOCACY WORKSHOP
TUESDAY, MARCH 27    |     2-6 PM
CANNON TOWNSHIP HALL

Every five years, a massive piece of legislation called the Farm Bill determines how 
tens of billions of dollars will be spent to shape American agriculture and rural communities. 

Join the Izaak Walton League of America and the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition’s 
Michigan Voices for Good Food Policy campaign to learn how the Farm Bill impacts our food, soil, air, water, and budgets.

Share your thoughts on Michigan’s Farm Bill priorities, 
and discover how you can help shape sustainable food and farm policies.
