What Should Be The Federal Government's Role in Agriculture?

What policies are best to support healthy agriculture and food supply is the topic of February East Pierce Unit Meeting of LWV Tacoma-Pierce County. We welcome non -members who wish to express their points of view. Traditionally, the government has overseen farm subsidies and regulates for safe food production, but agriculture has changed greatly from the past. Consider the wide use of new chemicals, antibiotics for growth enhancements and demands for accurate food labeling, and much more.

Success of this effort depends on members arriving having read the February Voter(see: www.lwvwa.org/tacoma) Saturday, February 8; 10:am;Puyallup Library-324 S. Meridian. Puyallup
