The 1995 Farm Bill will have a major impact on the agricultural
sector, rueal areas, the environment, the food purchasing power
of low income people and the prices of agriculturlal commodities
in general. A series of background papers have been prepared by
an Extension task force and are available on the WWW thanks to the
Agricultural Economics Department at the University of Nebraska. 

In addition to providing background information relevant to the
1995 farm bill we think it useful for extension to sponser an
electronic forum on this important legislation. Therefore we have
set up a WWW forum on the 1995 farm bill. The basis of the forum
consists of the series of background papers. Comments and discussions
are solicited on each of these documents. In addition new topics and
background materials can be added by participants in this discussion.

This discussion requires a form compatable WWW browser.  The URL for
the forum is: http://ag.arizona.edu/HyperNews/get/farmbill.html
