Vilsack Touts Progress on 2014 Farm Bill Implementation

Apr 03, 2014

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack reported on the progress being made on the implementation of the 2014 Farm Bill.

President Obama signed the bill into law earlier this year on February 7th.

Vilsack said that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is working on implementing the bill’s new provisions in a timely matter.

"We are making tremendous progress implementing the new Farm Bill," said Vilsack adding that the law is important for America’s farmers.

The 2014 Farm Bill has over 12 titles and more than 450 provisions in the legislation, so it’s not surprising that a significant amount of coordination is needed in order to implement new programs and reforms.

“Every USDA agency is working diligently to implement the Farm Bill's new provisions quickly and effectively,” he said.

For those interested in following along with the farm bill implementation progress, the USDA has a website outlining some of the implications of the new programs and provisions. The website can be found by clicking here.

its time to put things back together on the International 5100 grain drill. I reassemble all the row units back together and then try to install it back on the drill by myself. But that proved to be more challenging than I figured. So I enlist some help from Logans. It was so much fun having my son's help with farm projects. Its truly takes family to help make farming successful.

I am the 2nd generation to live on this property after my parents purchased it in 1978. As a child my father hobby farmed pigs for a couple years and ran a vegetable garden. But we were not a farm by any stretch of the imagination. There were however many family dairy farms surrounding us. So naturally I was hooked with farming since I saw my first tractor. As time went on, I worked for a couple of these farms and that only fueled my love of agriculture. In 2019 I was able to move back home as my parents were ready to downsize and I was ready to try my hand at farming. Stacy and logan share the same love of farming as I do. Stacy growing up on her family's dairy farm and logans exposure of farming/tractors at a very young age. We all share this same passion to grow a quality/healthy product to share with our community. Join us on this journey and see where the farm life takes us.
