House Agriculture Committee Holds Farm Bill Forestry Hearing

On Thursday, the House Agriculture Committee Conservation and Forestry Subcommittee held a hearing entitled “The Next Farm Bill: Forestry Initiatives.”  This hearing is one in a series that the Committee is holding to begin to set the stage for the next farm bill.  Of particular interest to RCRC, several witnesses expressed their support for a wildfire funding fix, as well as the important role that the farm bill can play in supporting rural economies.
